God loves to use the weak and despised of this world to show his power and glory.
He particularly loves to have the glorious treasure of his gospel shine out of broken clay pots. There is a region of the world where God has been doing this in the most remarkable way over the last ten years.
It is the region of the world where East meets West and so appears on our television sets almost nightly. It is a region where the most powerful nations of the world vie for political domination, where personal fortunes are amassed by those in positions of influence, and where political alliances are being forged that will affect our future here in the UK.
