I’d probably held a Bible in my hands, but never read it
Ever wondered how other churches bring in non-believers to study the Bible? Here’s what a church in Derby, England has done for many years. The church hosts “Just Looking” groups for those who are open to learning more about the Bible. In 2012, our first blog post was a story about these groups. The church […]
That’s my favourite book!
Sometimes it’s in the midst of the mundane that the Lord brings about opportunities and encouragement. Here’s one such story that we recently received. James* is a missionary in West Africa. He has been using L’Homme sur le chemin d’Emmaüs, the French edition of The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus, in his ministry with […]
Top five “how-to” articles
GoodSeed resources are created with two key purposes in mind: to build strong faith foundations for believers and to explain the gospel in a clear and objective way for unbelievers. Over the years, as our books, DVDs and audiobooks have gone around the world, we have had the privilege of hearing people come to faith […]
The launch of The Lamb in Faroese
The Faroe Islands. A network of 18 islands, connected by tunnels and ferries and bridges, situated halfway between Iceland and Norway. As in centuries past, fishing remains the economic ballast, and the sheep dotting the hillsides seem to agree with the Danish name for the country: “islands of sheep.” It has a landscape marked by […]
I’m going to have to buy a flock of sheep so I can get right with God!
As Roger* and Lorraine testify of God’s ongoing work in the lives of people in their church and community, they can only say, “We give the Lord all the glory and praise for what he’s doing in our incredible weakness.” Jed is one example of what God is doing through their ministry. He is an […]

A message from Bethlehem
The faint sound of the Muslim call to prayer from Bethlehem’s mosque blended curiously with the warbling of a bird outside the open window. Nasir’s* fingers hovered over the computer keyboard. He looked at the screen and read what he had written so far: “Dear sir, I am so honoured and glad that you wrote […]
Can you tell me what the Old Testament is about?
“Hey, I remember you!” Ginny* greeted the medical technician as she came into the room full of equipment. “Oh yes, you were here a year ago, right?” Sonia replied. She had a distinct accent, which Ginny soon learned was due to her Eastern European heritage. The two women chatted about the weather, where they each […]
The hidden danger of syncretism
Time for a pop quiz. Look at the following statement and ask yourself if it is biblical: Love means being tolerant, accepting and non-judgmental. Would it surprise you to learn that… it’s not! You may be inclined to think there is an element of biblical truth in that statement and therefore the whole statement is valid. But […]
Malawi: Reaching the unreachables with the gospel
“Many say Christianity in Africa is a mile wide and an inch deep.” The words spilled out of Rodrick as he shared his burdened heart for Africa. He explained how many Africans claim Christianity as their religion, not because of a true understanding of the gospel, but because of its social and cultural roots in […]
