The gospel smashed into my heart
Out of the blue, we received a phone call last week. It was from a gentleman named Manuel* who lives in the US. He said he was prompted by God to share his story with us. Manuel related that he became a believer 30 years ago but his life took a dramatic turn when he […]
A cycle of sin, confess… sin, confess…
Let me take a moment of your time to tell you my story–the true story of a Christian who became a Christian. No, that was not a typo! Let me explain… I grew up in the Bible Belt surrounded by churches. The local school was called a Christian school; and most folks were called Christians. […]
How churches are grounding their congregations
Recently we received two testimonies. One was from a ladies’ small group from a church in Alberta, Canada and the other was from a church in Singapore. These two churches were an ocean apart but they had the same vision: to ensure every member understood a clear gospel. These two churches found it useful to […]
I found my faith in Christ through this study
Our ladies’ study group consisted of 12 ladies with different levels of Bible knowledge. There were ladies with no knowledge at all, some with many of years of study and everything in between. The study ran for two months and we met every Wednesday morning. Our book study was By This Name by John R. Cross […]
The Bible had always been confusing for me
A church in Singapore regularly runs its own version of a TERM Seminar. They use By This Name as the text and run the course over seven Friday evenings. All types of people, from long-time church goers, to new believers, to those who are just seeking to find out what the Bible is all about […]
Dad, are you ready to die?
Stuart* levelled his eyes steadily at his father Frank. He took a breath before asking one of the most difficult questions a son could ask: “Dad, are you ready to die?” Frank had been in and out of the hospital over the past few months with a series of problems. First there was a fractured hip, […]
These healers used white and black magic for their treatment
Editor’s note: Previously, we had shared Kaspar’s story on how he came to put his trust in Jesus. In this post, we present Alys’s* side of the story. I grew up “religious” but have always felt an inner emptiness. I kept asking myself questions concerning the meaning of life. I couldn’t find satisfaction for my […]
I was filled with a deep and cavernous void
A testimony from Kaspar.* (Read the follow-up post from Alys.) Ever since I was a child, I thought I was a Christian. I lived my life how I wanted, spent a lot of time at wild parties and did everything that I thought was fun. I thought I was living life to the fullest. All of this went […]
Four visits to the manicurist. Four books on the good news.
With willingness and a keenness to share the gospel whenever the opportunity arises, one can never tell how God will use a person to give away the Good News. Here are four consecutive visits to the manicurist that resulted in the good news being shared. First visit Last December, while Christina* was getting her nails […]
I want the God that you preach to free me
Through connections that our ministry has with other organizations, we were able to send a quantity of All that the Prophets have Spoken in French to Africa. The books eventually made their way into the Congo and ended in the hands of a pastor who was involved in prisons’ ministry. He led a Bible study […]
