Modern Christian Hero

June 2, 2012

Assignment: Write about somebody in your life who you know that could be seen as a modern christian hero.

The person who I have chosen as a modern day Christian hero is my uncle, Harvey Stuart, because his ministry with the indigenous missionaries to the North American church. He is a missionary for I.N.N (International Needs Network) who now lives in Lynden, Washington. He and his wife lived in Slovakia for a year where he taught English in order to teach people about God. He lived in Morocco for a year and tried to get a school going. He goes to different countries every few years, but what he mostly does now is he organizes meetings in North American churches and schools for indigenous missionaries from countries like Zambia, Egypt, and Ghana to speak and perform. He travels with them as they raise awareness about the state in which their country is in and to raise funds for their ministries. He has come to our house numerous times to stay for a few days while they present to the local churches and schools. The people he brings over are always really interesting and some are school children to represent their school. I see him as a hero because he has respect for these people and their cultures and he wants to help educate the North American church to help support the indigenous people’s goals.
