The Age of TCKs

Exodus 2:1~10 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.” (9~10)

  Age by age, Israel was either captivated by powerful neighboring countries or suffered tremendously due to constant wars. During these times, the church would either be corrupted or fall into idolatry. Without fail, God would raise Remnants during these times and use them for the multiethnic movement. Those who were used for this work were the TCKs(Third Culture Kids). Even in this age, God uses TCKs. What fact must you be cognizant of in the age of the TCKs?

1. All Remnants Were TCKs
  The first order of multiethnic missions is the TCKs. They are the first–in-line and main figures of world evangelization. The hardships that TCKs face from a young age will become great power or strength for them as they become adults and enter into international society. Joseph was sold as a slave to Egypt when he was young;(Genesis 37:1~11) Moses became an adoptee in Egypt;(Exodus 2:1~10) Samuel had to leave his home at a very young age;(1 Samuel 2:1~10) and David spent half of his life constantly on the run;(Psalms 23:1~6) Elijah and Elisha were falsely labeled as heretics by King Ahab;(1 Kings 19:19~21) Daniel and his three friends(Daniel 1:8~9, 3:8~24, 6:10~22) and Esther were taken as captives to Babylon;(Esther 4:1~16) and even the Early Church members, who were falsely labeled as heretics and were limited by the law(Acts 4:1~12), were all Remnants and TCKs who possessed the Gospel. These individuals arose and completely overturned the world.

2. The Scattered Evangelists in Biblical History Were TCKs
  The Bible refers to those who seemed like they were scattered as the “Remnant.”(Isaiah 6:13) The Bible also refers to those who seemed useless as those “who remained.”(Zephaniah 2:7) Although they seemed to have scattered without reason, God said they were the “hidden ones” who would arise in His accurate time schedule(Acts 11:19). Although they seemed as if they were “abandoned,” they were evangelists who eventually solved matters that even kings couldn’t resolve.

3. Those Who Conquered Rome Were TCKs
  Paul’s team relayed the Gospel to the TCKs in the synagogues, and God conquered Rome through them. Cornelius, a centurion of the Italian Cohort(Acts 10:1~45), as well as the family of Narcissus(Romans 16:11) were also TCKs who conquered Rome. You must help Remnants and TCKs so that they can partake in God’s important works.

[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, may I enjoy the crucial answer of saving and healing TCKs, who are the main figures of the multiethnic movement and world evangelization.
