Chad Needs Jesus

God used a family friend to give Betty this advice: “Why not combine flying and missionary work?
William Carey – Father of Modern Missions
William Carey was a pioneer of modern Christian missions. He was not rich, but he used his God-given genius and every method he could to serve his Creator and bring the light of the Gospel to the dark corners of India.
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.
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.
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?”
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.”
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.
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.
