When I think of Hebrews 10:25 (“You
should not stay away from the church meetings, as some are doing, but you
should meet together and encourage each other. Do this even more as you see the
day coming.” NCV), I think of Josef Gabor. Here
is how DAILY WALK told his story back in 1993:
Josef Gabor grew up in
Czechoslovakia when it was dominated by communism, and religion was despised as
weakness. His father taught communist doctrine classes. But Josef’s mother, who
believed in Jesus Christ, took Josef and his brother with her to church.
They got up early each
Sunday morning and took a 3-hour train ride to Prague. Then they walked to the
church and sat through a 2 1/2-hour service. After eating lunch in a nearby
park, they returned to church for another 2 1/2-hour meeting. Then they took
the 3-hour ride home.
Today Josef Gabor is a
missionary to his own people in Czechoslovakia. When he tells about going to
church as a child, his eyes fill with tears of gratitude for a mother who cared
enough about his spiritual welfare to help him come to know and serve Christ.
