Reflection - Herbert Vander Lugt - Unheralded Champions

 Help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel . . . and the rest of my co-workers. - Philippians 4:3

Read: Philippians 4:1-9

Pat Fillmore has been a pioneer missionary in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, for 40 years. She taught people to read and brought them medications and medical techniques. She maintained airstrips, built septic systems, and repaired generators and appliances. In additions, she established and managed a quality Bible school, and translated parts of the Bible and many study courses into the language of the people to whom she ministered.

I am familiar with the stories of many well-known Christian men and women. I've seen their pictures and read their books. But I had never heard of Pat until I read the story about her in a magazine.

I am sure there are thousands of other believers who fill an important niche in the work of the Lord, even though they may go their entire lives without being noticed by the people of their generation. But like those unnamed believers Paul called "the rest of my co-workers," their "names are in the book of life" (Philippians 4:3), and the Lord will reward their service (Colossians 3:23-24).

You may be caring for a person with a disability, helping to distribute food in a rescue mission, or teaching a small class of children without anybody noticing. You are an unheralded champion - except in the sight of God!

No service for Christ is insignificant.

Our work of service in Christ's name
May not be noticed by our peers;
But one day what we've done for Him
Will be revealed when He appears. - Sper
