I can't tell lies, do I quit my job?

I received an email from the field a couple of weeks ago and it described the dilemma of one of our past employees in Asia.  Mary (not her real name) had moved to be near her parents and we were sad to see her go.  We enjoyed her commitment and energy and invested significantly into her life.  As a Christ follower and understanding some of the principles of kingdom business we prayed she would be an influence in the work she would end up doing.

Well, I’d love to pass on a success story to you, but right now I can’t.  You see the reality for this young lady, and I’m sure for many of us here in NZ, is that she finds herself in a work environment that is not great.  She writes… “…this week I found myself covered over by a cloud of evil, at least I felt sick, by being asked to tell lies, to buy a product…”  She went onto explain how devious her boss is, an extremely rich person, and how he would put pressure on employees to do things that were not honest.

Mary asks our tranzsend overseas worker what to do.  She asks, “could you give me any advice?”  We continue to help her, even though she is not working with us directly to make God honoring decisions.  Please pray for Mary and our overseas worker as they dialogue.  May God’s presence be very real in Mary’s life and work situation.

Peter.
