No Argument Left

God has His own timing and His own special way of calling each person to repentance. For some people, a large event with powerful speakers and emotional music is what works. For others, a patient conversation with a trusted friend is the key to unlocking a heart. And for others, God uses pain as His attention getter. C.S. Lewis said "God whispers to us in our pleasures, He speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." This story from Eastern Europe ... Read more

A Resurrected Life

Is there anything more desperate than a mother holding an ailing child? Can Jesus reach into that desperate moment and show Himself faithful? He can, and He does. Just read this story we recently received from a partner ministry using Jesus Film ProjectⓇ tools to plant over 100 churches in South Asia. Joseph stood before the distraught family, the mother clutching her dead infant in her arms. They begged Joseph to pray to his Christian God for healing. Joseph was no stranger to miraculous healing. When he had first heard about Jesus, he ... Read more

A Traveler in Truth

The faith and courage of believers in difficult circumstances always inspire me. I love reading the stories of Brother Andrew, Corrie Ten Boom and Mother Teresa. They are my heroes. Today, God is raising up new heroes of the faith. Volunteers in one country travel to extremely dangerous areas, where news of the gospel has never been heard. When one of our partner ministries learned of their courage, they trained the volunteers and entrusted them with 50 sets of compact film-showing equipment. These 50 teams fanned out through mountainous terrain in cars, on ... Read more

New Life in the Desert

My husband has taken up gardening since we moved to Florida, the Sunshine State. Fruits and vegetables supposedly grow easily in Florida. And some things do … like the basketball-sized cabbages we get every year! But some of his plants have floundered. He's planted seeds and nothing sprouts. Or sprouts come up quickly, but wither when the rains don't come, and he forgets to water them. Some plants seem healthy for a while, but the fruit never comes. It's no wonder Jesus used agricultural metaphors in His teachings. His immediate listeners worked the ... Read more

Holding Nothing Back

Sometimes it seems bad news is all we hear. A friend's divorce. A child's failing health. A co-worker's suicide. We wish the uplifting stories we read about in the Bible would come to life in our world today. We yearn for peace on earth and for God's favor to rest on His people. The night is long and the dawn stays out of reach. But let me tell you, God is at work—even among women married to radical religious fighters! When I heard Salma* speak, I sat in silent awe. She gave testimony ... Read more

Doing What Jesus Says to Do

"I will never forgive my husband," Ekua* yelled as she jumped out of her seat, startling many of the women sitting around her. It was the first day of a large "Walking With Jesus" event, with 300 of the nation's top female military leaders in attendance. All eyes were on Ekua as she sat down again in her seat, breathless. While very successful in the workplace, Ekua faced problems at home. Her husband had abandoned her and their children. The burden of being the sole caregiver for their children and household weighed ... Read more

Mothers and Sons

When my boys were younger, I tried to stay attentive to opportunities to point them toward faith in Jesus. Growing up in a Christian home didn’t necessarily mean they would become Christ-followers on their own. I knew I would need to guide them along the way. We memorized verses prompted by simple hand-gestures, read Bible stories and sang songs about Jesus. And every Sunday, we’d go to church as a family. Participation was expected, and the boys went along. Often, I wondered, “Will they grasp faith in Jesus and make ... Read more

Thank You For Taking Us Into Account

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14, ESV). Every year Christmas rolls around, I just can’t get over the idea of the incarnation—that God became human. The God who created galaxies and sun flares, beluga whales and bald eagles, decided to take on flesh and bones on my behalf (John 1:14). And not just flesh and bones—He also took on our suffering and grief (Isaiah 53:3) and ... Read more

They Came to See "JESUS"

They came at dusk from the fields and the bushes. Wrapped in thin fabric. Adorned with beads. Barefooted. They came to see and hear "JESUS." Curious, they came to hear Him speak their language, the language of their hearts – Daasanach. Herding cattle and goats in the desert-lands of Southwest Ethiopia, Kenya and South Sudan, the Dassanach are a pastoral people. In one hand they hold sticks to prod and guide their herds, with the other they sling AK-47 rifles over their shoulders. They kill one another, clan against clan, ... Read more
