Missionary Sewa Hamaar Zindagi ke Hamesha Ke Liye Ashishit Karis

Dhanyevaad, President Nelson, missionary sewa ko lekar us salaah ko phir se batlaane ke liye.

Bhaaiyo aur bahano, kayi saal pehle maha sammelan me baat karte samay, hamaar right aankhi ke drishti achanak macular degeneration naamak kisi cheez se prabhaawit hois, jon baad me bigad geis aur hamme uh aankhi me kaamil drishti ke bina rahe ke pada.

Ih chunaoti se nipatte me, hum anye tarah ke drishti ke liye bahut abhaari hai, jisme pashch-drishti(hindsight) se dekhna shaamil hai. Apan zindagi ke piche mudke dekhe se, hum kuch aisan anubhavein dekh paaya hai jisse ek mahatwapurn antar aais hai. Usme se ek anubhao raha kaise hum ek jawaan ladka England me apan pura-samay missionary sewa kara jon hamaar zindagi hamesha ke liye ashishti karis aur hamaar dhaarmik sambhaaona ke prabhaawit karis.

Hum socha hai kaise Mahaan Aapati(Great Depression) ke uh aarthik chunaotiyon ke kaaran hamaar maata-pita aur hamaar parivaar ke liye ek durbhaagyepurn mod ban ge raha. Hamaar pita etna vyast hoi ge raha ih mushkil samay me apan motar-gaadi ke vyavasaae aur ek parivaar ke bachaawe me ki thoda din tak hamaar maata-pita girjaghar nahi ge.

Bhale hum log ek parivaar ke rakam girjaghar nahi giya, phir bhi hum kabhi kabhi apan doston ke saathe chal deta raha.

Un dino me, mission pe jaana hamaar khyaal me raha, lekin uske baare me hum apan maata-pita se nahi baat karta raha.

College ke samay, dher dost log aur hum mission sewa kare ke socha. Apan bishop se mil ke, hum apan missionary application likha jab hamaar maata-pita shahar me nahi raha. Jab hamaar maata-pita laotis, hum uh log ke uh khabar se surprise kara ki hamme Great Britain me sewa kare ke call aais hai. Hum uh log ke utsaah bhare sahayta ke liye abhaari hai ih nirnay pe aur achcha dost log ke liye jon hamme sewa kare ke liye soche me madad karis.

Hamaar missionary sewa hamme ek behtar pati aur pita bane ke liye aur vyapaar me safal howe ke taeyaar karis raha. Uh hamme Prabhu ke Girjaghar me zindagi bhar sewa kare ke liye bhi taeyaar karis.

April 1985 waale maha sammelan me, hamme purohiti sabha me baat kare ke raha. Hum jawaan purshon ke dhyaan me rakh ke baat kara. Hum missionary sewa ke taeyaari pe baat kara. Hum bola, “Jetna sab prashikshan(training) hamme Girjaghar la kaam se mila hai, usme se ekko unnees(19) saal ke umra me ek pura-samay ke mission la training se zyaada mahatwapurn nahi raha hamaar liye.¹

Prabhu tumme jaane hai. Jab tum apan mission serve karega, tumaar anubhawein tumme madad kari Uske aur achcha se jaane ke. Tum Uske sewa kare se dhaarmik rup se badhega. Uske naam se, tumme kaam dewa jaai dusar ke sewa kare ke. Pawitr Aatma ke prabhaawon ke zariye Woh tumhe anubhawein dega. Prabhu tumhe Apne naam se padhaane ka adhikaar dega. Tum sakta hai Uske dekhaae ki Uh sake tumpe bharosa kare aur tumpe nirbhar howe.

Khali paanch mahina pehle, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland aur Elder Quentin L. Cook, jon British Isles me missionary sewa pradaan karis raha, hamaar saathe ge uh sundar ilaaka me sadasyon aur prachaarako se mile. Jab hum wahan the, hum apan anubhavon ke baare me socha jab hum ek jawaan missionary raha. Hum gawahi deta hai ki hamaar mission pe hum jaana hamaar Swarg ke Pita aur hamaar Rakshak, Ishu Masih, hamme jaane aur pyaar kare hai.

Hamaar saobhaagye raha dui behtareen mission presidents ke saathe serve kare ke, Selvoy J. Boyer aur Stayner Richards, uh log ke samarpit saathiyon ke saath Gladys Boyer aur Jane Richards. Us samay ke yaad karta hai, toh hum aur saaf rup se dekhe sakta uh hamaar uppar bharosa karta aur humse pyaar karta raha. Uh log hamme susamachaar sikhaais raha. Uh log ke humse bahut ummeed raha. Uh log hamme dher chunaotipurn zimmedaariyaan aur leadership ke zimmedaariyaan diya taaki mai jiwan me sewa ke liye badhun aur taeyaar rahun.

I bahut gehraai se socha jab President Spencer W. Kimball hamme call karis raha Canada Toronto Mission pe preside kare ke hamaar pyaari patni, Barbara, aur hum log ke ladkan ke sange. President Kimball April 1974 me hum log ke call karis raha, uske thode din baad uh apan prerna bhara missionary sandesh dees jiske naam raha “When the World Will Be Converted.”² Uh sandesh me President Kimball apan drishti samjhaais raha kaise susamachaar duniya bhar me le ke jaawa jaai. Uh duniya bhar me se dher aur missionaries ke nimantran dees. Uh hum log ke Prabhu ke ummeed yaad karaais “ki har insaan ke chaahi … ek chetaaoni la aawaaz uthaao dharti me rehne waale ke liye.”³ President Kimball ne jo jawaan purshon ke mission pe jaane ki ummeed ke baare me sikhaaya tha duniya bhar ke gharon me charcha ka vishay ban gaya. Uh ummeed abhi tak badlees nahi hai. Hum abhaari hai ki President Russell M. Nelson bhi aaj sabere Prabhu ke ummeed ke pushti karis hai.

Lagbhag 10 saal hoi ge hai jabse President Thomas S. Monson jawaan purush aur jawaan mahilaaon ke mission pe jaae la umra ke kamti kare ke ghoshna karis raha.⁴ Hamaar raae me, ih badlaao ke ek sab se bada kaaran raha hum log zyaada yuwaaon ke jiwan-badlaao waala maoka dena ek missionary banne ka.

Prabhu Ishu Masih ka ek Devdut hone ke naate, hum abhi aap jawaan purushon—aur uh jawaan mahilaaon ke jon mission pe jaawe maange hai—se bolta hai abhi se apan maata-pita se baat kare lago mission pe jaawe ke liye. Hum aap log ke ih bhi nimantran deta hai apan doston se mission sewa ke baare me baat karo, aur agar aapke koi ek dost abhi tak iraada nahi karis hai sewa kare ke, uh log ke protsaahit karo uske bishop se baat kare ke.

Apne aap ke aur apan Swarg ke Pita ke vachan do ki aap mission pe jaaega aur ki abhi se aap apan dilon, haathon, aur mann ke saaf aur yogye rakkhe ke koshish karega. Hum aapke phir se nimantran deta hai Ishu Masih ke punahsthaapit susamachaar ke ek thos gawahi haasil karo.

In ashcharyejanak yuwaaon ke pitaaon aur maataaon, aapka bhumika bahut avashyak hai taeyaari ke ih kriya me. Aaj hi shuru kar do apan ladkan se missionary sewa ke baare me baat kare ke. Hum log janta hai ki parivaar sabse gambheer prabhaao hai hum log ke jawaan purush aur jawaan mahilaaon ke taeyaar kare me.

Agar aap abhi bhi mission sewa kare ke umar ke daera me hai lekin abhi tak sewa kare nahi giya hai pandemic ya anye koi kaaran se, hum aapke amantrit karta hai abhi sewa kare jaao. Apan bishop se baat karo, aur taeyaari karo Prabhu ke sewa kare ke.

Hum aap bishops log ke protsaahit karta hai sabhi jawaan purush aur jawaan mahilaaen jon mission pe jaawe ke umra ke hai ke madad karo taeyaari kare ke, aur hum aap bishops ke ih bhi protsaahan deta hai uh log ke pehchaano jon uh umar ke hai par abhi tak mission pe nahi ge hai. Har ek jawaan purush ke ek missionary bane ke amantrit karo, saath hi har ek jawaan mahilaa ke jon ichcha rakkhe hai sewa kare ke.

Uh missionaries jo abhi mission pe hai, hum aapko dhanyevaad dete hai. Aapke mission ek vishwabhar ke mahaamaari ke samay raha. Uske kaaran, aapke mission anubhao hamaar mission anubhao ke rakam nahi hai ya kisi anye missionary ke rakam jon 2020 se pehle sewa karis hai. Hum janta uh aasaan nahi raha. Lekin ih kathin samay me bhi, Prabhu ke paas aap ke liye ek kaam raha, aur aap uske bahut achcha se pura kara hai. Jaise ki, aap technology ke istemaal nawa tarikon se kara hai uh log ke dhoondhe ke liye jon taeyaar hai Ishu Masih ke susamachaar ke Punahsthaapna ke baare me seekhe ke liye. Jab aap lagan se sewa karega aur apan chamtaaon ke anusaar, hum janta hai ki Prabhu aapke koshish se prasann rahi. Hum janta hai ki aapke sewa aapke zindagi ke ashishit kari.

Jab aap apan mission se mukt(release) hoega, yaad rakhna ki aap Girjaghar me sakriye rahe se mukt nahi hoya hai. Apan mission pe jon achcha aadat log seekha hai ke aur sudhaaro, apan gawahi ke mazboot kare ke koshish karte raho, mehnat karo, praathna karo, aur Prabhu ka aagya paalan karo. Uh vachanon ke sammaan karo jo aap banaya hai. Dusron ke ashishit aur sewa karte raho.

Hum praathna karta hai ki aap jawaan purush aur jawaan mahilaaen aur aapke maata-pita dekhega aur jaanega kaise missionary sewa aapke zindagi ke hamesha ke liye ashishit kari. Aasha hai aap apan mann me jaanega aur dil me uh nimantran ke shakti mehsoos karega jon Prabhu Mosiah ke mahaan missionary beta log ke dees raha. Uh bolis, “Jaao … aur hamaar shabd sthaapit karo; phir bhi dheeraj rakkho sangharsh me aur takleefon me, ki aap achche uddhaaran pesh karo … mujh me, aur mai aapko apne haathon ka aozaar banaunga kayi aatmaaon ke uddhaar ke liye.”⁵

Parmeshwar Girjaghar ke yuvaaon ko ashirvaad dein ki weh Unki sewa karne ki taeyaari ki ichcha rakkhe aur sewa karein hai mera vinamr praathna, jo mai aaj subha Prabhu Ishu Masih ke naam se kehta hoon, amen.
