The following article is from MReport, providing daily updates from CapeTown’s Lausanne Congress.  Tom Little wrote his last letter in the form of a devotional in a journal that was found splattered in his own blood. His last devotional he shared with his team on that fateful day was about presenting ourselves to Him and His work, spreading the sweet aroma of Jesus in the hard places.  So, how are you spreading Jesus’ sweet aroma?

CAPE TOWN.  From MReport

I heard an unbelievably moving testimony on Wednesday at the Lausanne Congress.
Libby Little, the speaker, had been widowed for less than three months. Her husband, Dr. Tom Little, was pulled out of his car and murdered in Afghanistan on August 5. She calmly stood before 4,000 participants and another 1,000 volunteers and guests at Cape Town 2010 and told us, “Go spread the aroma of Christ in hard places.”
Dr. Little was one of 10 human aid workers killed in the Nuristan Province. The optometrist was on his fifth trip to the area, leading a team of nine other human aid workers who were compelled by Christ’s love to serve the Afghanistan people. Little had asked for permission to enter the area on his first trip, but had gone on subsequent trips at the invitation of the local people.
The Littles had raised their family in Afghanistan. On his final journey, he was only able to place one-minute calls to his wife. His last message to her before crossing a river into the area was, “We’ll call you from the other side. I love you.”

A blood stained notebook was recovered from Dr. Little’s body and presented to Libby. It contained what she believes to be notes from a devotional that he presented to the team less than one week before his death. She feels certain that he spoke that day on spreading the aroma of Christ. One of the scriptures he referenced was 2 Corinthians 2:15, “For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.”
“If Tom were here today,” she told the gathering, “I think he would say that in these hard to reach places, grace has to be seen, has to be felt.”
