Publisher's Synopsis
Before The Cock Crows is the Daily Diary of Trojan Horse International, a Christian mission, and is the second part of a three part series and its to demonstrate the proposition that when Jesus gave the command to go and preach the gospel to the whole world, he used general and not specific terms. That is he did not say how this was to be done. David, the author of this diary, puts forward the reason why no specific terms were give as to how to go about the tasks and with good reason. This was because had He given a detailed and specified schedule it would have proved too daunting to his disciples, due to the frightful dangers and opposition that they would meet. So instead He left the methods and practices open to the imagination of men who had been renewed in their minds by the Spirit of God, and with the directions written in scripture. By this means God would be glorified and often the carnal religious mind would be infuriated. It is only when one seeks to obey the command that it is realised that wisdom, determination, courage, skill, diplomacy, in fact every skill that man has devised in terms of dealing with money, travel, visa permits, medical practices, local laws, legal practices and customs are required and in general with fallen man. This book Before the Crows (Part2) tells of the opposition this mission experienced when seeking to bring the gospel to the prisons in the Philippines and in particular those in New Bilibid Maximum security prison. It covers the period 1st January to March 24th 2003, and relates how the directors of this work were forsaken and let down by others due to ignorance and ignoring scripture principals but as a result Trojan Horse International (TULIP) Phils. Incorporate was formed and also valuable links with Christians in the Philippines.
