IN HEIGHT, TALL IN COURAGE
Christianity and Judaism are under attack around the world, and people
are ignoring and abandoning their faith all across the United States. People in
the inner sanctums are deeply concerned, while the muckrakers are having a
field day celebrating the impending calamity. Few people realize nor are they concerned that civilization's
moral foundation is at risk. Thankfully, God is in charge, not man. A group of godly men and women had an idea that some might consider demented,
bringing the two ancient faiths of Judaism and Christianity together to give birth
to an organization called the World Christian Peace Network, WCPN. Its board of
directors is composed of devout and powerful men and women of many
nationalities and races. Their commission was to create a light and covert
military strike unit to hit targets hard and fast. The desired result is for
the world to understand that the days of attacking and persecuting Christians
and Jews without retribution, is over. The BOD spent many days in prayer to
find the two men needed and qualified to lead the first of many teams that
would operate in full view of the public eye.
After
many days and nights of soul searching and praying, a list of thousands was
pared down to the two soldiers proven to have exhibited the highest ideals of
leadership, experience, and, above all, faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. These two men would be responsible for choosing men that met these same
standards. Also, the two leaders would choose the country and the exact area to
operate from. It may seem odd at first glance, but the country chosen was South
Sudan, and the first seventeen men chosen were all from the Dinka Tribe of that
same country. These South Sudanese men were asked to dedicate their lives to
God, with martyrdom an almost sure thing. Money was never a consideration, for glory
and fame was only for God.
Soon, a
young man would enter the picture. He would instantly grab the hearts of all
the team members, and they would grab his. This short man, like Paul in the
Bible, became the final ingredient for the formation of this consummate group. These men would become known as "The Team"
to the world. The Team's fighting exploits would become legendary and bring
great glory to our Lord. This band of "who-are-theys", the kind our
God loves to give his most important jobs to, would become one of the forces
God would empower to show the world, just as He had shown the Egyptians in
Exodus, his divine power and glory that are only His. The coming battles would
be many and some would be deadly, but The Team would never falter nor bow out. Even
during combat, a zeal to carry out Christ's commission was never far from the
minds of team members. At their lowest points, with victory in question, The
Team looked to God, for they relied faithfully on Him for their strength,
courage, and wisdom. Now, the story of The Team and the little man that had
such a great influence on them as told by James "JJ" Jefferson, their
leader.
