Why do we insist on our own comfort when the very nature of the gospel calls us to give our all for Christ? When the One we claim to follow did not spare even His own life but gave it freely as a ransom for us? “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselvesContinue reading “Off of the Couch and into the World”

Summer Olympics
Teams of Christians from all over the world arrived in Paris early and have already shared the good news with hundreds of lost people there for the Olympics. Reports are coming in of dozens turning to Christ daily. As Olympic celebrations begin today, let’s pray the good news will run fast, spreading from person toContinue reading “Summer Olympics”
International Day for the Unreached
Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the Good News? That’s right. About 3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name. Most of these live in nations closed off to the Gospel message because of oppressive governments and/or religions. Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekersContinue reading “International Day for the Unreached”
Join Us on May 19 as We Pray for the Unreached
During Pentecost (which we will celebrate May 19 this year), the Spirit came upon the apostles like fire, and they began preaching in the tongues of those gathered there “from every nation under heaven,” leading thousands to faith in Christ. Those languages and countries are many of the very places in the world that areContinue reading “Join Us on May 19 as We Pray for the Unreached”
Loving the Lost – John 3:16
The fact that so much of the world still has not heard the good news could be more a love problem than one of restricted access. How deeply do you love? How far are you willing to go to see Christ’s Kingdom come to the ends of the earth? Will you share with your neighbors? WithContinue reading “Loving the Lost – John 3:16”
Refugees in the News This Week
Pakistan is forcing 1.5 million undocumented Afghan refugees and migrants out of their country. So far, more than 250,000 have returned homeless to impoverished Afghanistan just as winter comes. Refugees fleeing fighting in Sudan have reported mass killings of perhaps 800 people, most from the Masalit ethnic group in a camp for internally displaced people.Continue reading “Refugees in the News This Week”
Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?
This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the third, people held tickets to Heaven in their hands. Some clutched only their own, but others held onto several tickets meant for other people. They waved them about, excitedly telling the people they were meant for how to get one, whileContinue reading “Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?”
More Than 3,000 Refugees Rescued
At least 79 refugees died and 104 have been rescued from a fishing boat that capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Greece Wednesday. Perhaps another more than 450-550 people remain missing, including about 100 children. On Monday, about 1,200 people were rescued from two different boats in distress, one with 400 andContinue reading “More Than 3,000 Refugees Rescued”
A Lost and Dying World
Tomorrow begins our 30 Days of Prayer for Global Awakening March 23-April 21. Come join us! One day, as I worshipped the Lord together with others, He opened before me a vivid picture of what my life would be like now had I not chosen Christ: a struggling journalist, always trying hard but never quiteContinue reading “A Lost and Dying World”
A Life Changed Forever
With all the tragic news of late, the Lord asked me to share with you today a story of hope and remaining faithful in love. Because love is what matters. Estelle* had never heard of Jesus when we first met her. How could she? Her government persecutes Christians and forbids missionaries. There is no BibleContinue reading “A Life Changed Forever”
