“A very good Christmas gift for Malawians”
Beginning today, 160 believers from villages around the African country of Malawi will be taught how to share the Good News using the recently completed translation of the book What are Christmas and Easter all About? The translator who did the work to translate this resource from English into Chichewa, the national language of Malawi, sent […]
Are you going to survive your day?
Snowflakes in the air reminded me I needed winter tires for our car. After checking prices and availability I settled on a local vendor and arranged a time to have the new tires installed. Arriving at the tire shop on the day of my appointment, I handed the keys to a service representative and then […]
In-ká-hai captured the minds of my children
We recently received a very encouraging note from a gentleman who read In-ká-hai: How Sweet It Is! to his children as part of their family devotions. He wrote: Our family has really enjoyed reading In-ká-hai! I have read it to the family, one chapter at each sitting. We finished the epilogue tonight and we will […]
Mommy, I understand!
(Editor’s note: An understood gospel is a powerful gospel. It saves lives! We have heard many stories of children coming to put their trust in Jesus for salvation, but this was a special one.) Jill* told us of her friend, Suzanne*, who had an autistic son. Suzanne despaired over how she could share the gospel […]
Before we slip into eternity
At a Christian school conference, Jim* excitedly approached our GoodSeed booth where our staff were introducing Worldview Rethink curriculum to schools. He had a story to share. Some years ago, he had seen a copy of The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus on a co-worker’s desk and had borrowed it to read. A short […]
I don’t have answers!
Editor’s note: We often meet new people when we travel. Opportunities to share the good news abound when on a flight or on a bus. One of our staff members relates a recent incident on being ready to share at a moment’s notice. As a frequent flyer in economy class, I’ve noticed how the close […]
I asked him if he read the Bible much. He said it was difficult…
Last week, TERM Seminar attendees in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, were trained on how to guide a friend to a clear understanding of the Bible’s message. They were also challenged to prepare a “Be Ready Box” so that they will have gospel tools available to give away at a moment’s notice. When believers are ready, God […]
Refugees on Christmas Island
Australia regularly receives boatloads of refugees seeking asylum. Many of these people from surrounding nations are genuine asylum seekers, while others are not. It’s a challenge for the government to discern the difference as it processes these people arriving on its shores. The refugees are temporarily housed on Christmas Island while their cases are being […]
Postcards from Brazil
We recently received a long email from Brazil. A ministry there wanted to encourage us by letting us know they had received quite a number of testimonies regarding our tools. Here are a series of translated notes from them. My mother now believes! A missionary wrote to say that for years she had been trying […]
Read to me, please
(Editor’s note: In life, we are often faced with difficult circumstances: an illness or some tragedy. Even during these times, if we look beyond ourselves, we can find God bringing someone into our lives with whom we can share the gospel message. This is Phoebe’s* story.) A day after we shared Brad Powell’s video testimony, […]
