Brother Florecio Molina is blind. Now in his mid-60s, he lost his sight about nine years ago due to an infection. Despite his blindness, he has a jovial spirit. Last night as we left the church building after Wednesday night Bible study, he laughed as he said to me, “Nos vemos.” We’ll see you! He added, “If not here on earth, then in heaven for sure.” He went on to say that he really would be able to see in heaven.
I laughed with him. Indeed, one day the disabilities of this life will be no more.
It is a blessing to have the opportunity to encourage the churches, help develop effective preachers and leaders, and train and lead others in outreach and evangelism. People like Brother Florencio make the time invested to encourage and strengthen the churches worthwhile. The phrase “nos vemos” is heard frequently in Latin America, but for Christians, it has a special meaning. Nos vemos. We’ll see you–if not here on earth, then in heaven!
