Accounts and reflections on sharing the gospel, serving others, and Christian mission.
“I will not fight; I am a Christian”. We live in a world geared towards personal gain and satisfaction. Building a nice life for yourself is the American dream, and anyone who wants it can have it. Jesus says that where…
Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in the supernatural? What about divine intervention? Or a better question might be, have you seen God working in your life? Do others see God working in your life? My brother…
It was February 22, 2016, when our family stepped off the airplane in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. I was excited. When I was converted, I told God I would go where He wanted me to go and say what He wanted me to say. Now here…
When I was converted, I had never heard the term Anabaptist. I had never heard much about witnessing to others. I remember thinking about all my friends who didn’t know anything about what had just happened to me. My…
It’s been said that in the 1500s, after baptism, the Anabaptists lived an average of only 27 days. They were hunted and killed. They realized one thing—serving Christ would most certainly cost them everything. They…
Pride is something that everyone must deal with. It is something that naturally tends to come into our lives and stay. Like many other things, it is very deceitful, because it is commonly accepted by the world in which…
Something that I have noticed repeatedly as I read God’s Word is that God’s people are confident. Consider Noah. When God told him to build an ark, there was no wavering. He spent the next 120 years confidently doing…
After living in Haiti for several months, I finally had the opportunity to go visit the local witch doctor. As I walked up his long drive, I passed many statues and satanic symbols. It was eerie for sure. As I approached…
A verse that has always caught my attention, one that has caused my spine to tingle is found in Matthew chapter seven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have…
I have heard many Christians say they are not satisfied with their relationship with God. They wonder why God does not speak to them like He spoke with people in the Bible, or even in the early church. I have often…
The early church in olden days Had a desire to tell The sinner about Jesus Christ, About Heaven and hell. Indeed, they were not perfect souls, But yet they loved their Lord; And strove to follow this command In spite of…
Sometimes we can learn things from everyday situations. A few years ago, my three-year-old son and I went for a walk. We were in an unfamiliar area with lots of vegetation. I told my son to stay close by me. He was doing…
If we step back and look at our own life, can we honestly say that we trust in the Lord with all our heart? I often think of my children—they trust in me with all their hearts; there is no fear within them; they do not…
Before I was converted, I had never heard the term “Anabaptist” and the concept of someone sharing their faith in Jesus with others was foreign to me. After I was converted, I remember thinking about all my friends who…
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not…
Alone in his house, a sinner found grace. Not knowing exactly just what he might face. What he had found, he could not deny, He had to tell someone, at least he would try. The world seemed so dark, now that he’d found…
Looking back at the years before my conversion isn’t easy. I was the youngest of six children. My parents were members of the Apostolic Christian Church in Latty, Ohio. We grew up hearing the Bible and going to church…
Hark! The heathen lands are calling, Asking, pleading—Hear their cry?! “Please send someone who will tell us How the Saviour came to die!” Perishing in sin’s sad anguish; Who will tell them of Christ’s love? Who will…
...Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. -Mark 10:14 A Voodoo community in Haiti Ten-year-old Flore sat in the shadows watching the Voodoo ball (a Satanic…
One day in late spring Jack was wondering what to do with his old lawn mower after purchasing a new one. His wife suggested that since it still worked well, they should give it to their poor neighbor Tim. “Yes,” Jack…
“Jesus said, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.” Mark 10:14, 16 It was late…
A few issues ago we published an article entitled “The Moravian Mission Machine” in which we highlighted the mission activity of the Moravians of the 1700s. We used the label “mission machine” to describe their…
A few weeks ago I came across an interesting news article. A group of scientists and engineers in Holland are starting to take applications for people who are interested in a very dangerous project that, once they start,…
A few years ago when Daniel Kenaston, a missionary in West Africa, was home on furlough, he preached a sermon that really made me think. He told of a journey that he took deep into the bush to reach a remote African…
