Through Other People’s Noses
“… the Goga language already exists, but only by speaking. Soon they will be able to use it in writing, too. My friend and some Gogas worked at testing out a way to write down the sounds of that language. Goga sounds are different from other languages. Figuring out how to write them is like figuring out a puzzle.”
Lima Peru’s Hidden People
There are 200,000 Chinese people in Lima. That’s enough for a whole city. Some speak Spanish, some can only speak Chinese, and many speak both languages. The most important thing, though, is that most of the Chinese people in Lima, Peru don’t know about the love of Jesus.
A Rooster and the Gospel
The wild rooster Mr. Xu gave me is a big show of friendship and appreciation. These men can be hard to reach, but God did it. I am humbled by our Heavenly Father’s amazing power.
The baby came too early!
“Please, God,” she prayed, “send us a water bottle. It will be no good tomorrow, God, the baby will be dead. So, please send it this afternoon.” Dr. Helen secretly gasped at such a bold prayer, but the girl added, “And while You are at it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she will know you really love her?”
The Gospel Planted; the Gospel Spread
Indonesia is the world’s largest island nation, with about 18,000 islands. Only about 9,000 islands have been named. 6000 have people on them, but only 1000 have people year-round. At 260 million people, Indonesia is the worlds fourth most populous country, and has the most Muslims of any nation. There are many hundreds of different native tribes with their own languages. Papua has 264 languages.
David Brainerd: Short Life, Eternal Impact
David Brainerd said, “Nothing seems too hard for God to perform, nothing too great for me to hope from Him.” Often David was weak from lack of food, and from spitting up blood from tuberculosis, a disease of the lungs. Sometimes he was so miserable that he wanted to die. Yet he knew God was with him.
Hindus Trade Their Idols For God’s Love
Marijke told Nadira, “After 23 years of going through religious rituals, I am not satisfied with my life. I have no genuine peace, only inner turmoil.” Marijke was searching for what could bring her hope and joy. Nadira told her that Jesus could forgive her sins and give her everlasting peace.
The Great Commission
Every Christian is to obey this command by telling others about the Lord Jesus, not only right where they are, but God wants us to care about other people around the world, too.
Truth For Trinidad
We had a team from China there helping us. They gave cards to the children to write their prayer requests, favorite food or interests. Drizzle’s prayer request was: “I have never seen my mother. I live with my father and step mother. I really, really want to see my mother.”
My Dog, My Neighbors, God’s Love
Before I came to Africa, I knew I would have to do some hard things in order to be a missionary, I thought about safety, air conditioning, and snakes. But I’ve found that the greatest sacrifices have been things I would never have imagined.
