She was the Fragrance of Christ
It was a hand-made wedding gift presented to his wife and him that caught his attention. He had never seen such detail and meticulousness put into a gift before. His new colleague had never mentioned this talent she had; then again, she was a relatively quiet person and not […]
Seeing Upside Down
In India I worshiped among leprosy patients. Most of the medical advances in the treatment of leprosy came about as a result of missionary doctors, who were willing to live among patients and risk exposure to the dreaded disease. As a result, churches thrive in most major leprosy centers. In Myanmar I visited homes for AIDS orphans, where Christian volunteers try to replace parental affection the disease has stolen away. The most rousing church services I have attended took place in Chile and Peru, in the bowels of a federal prison. Among the lowly, the wretched, the downtrodden—the rejected of…
3 Statements during Outreach that Stumped Me
Two years ago, my church opened a class for non-believers to explore the beliefs of the Christian faith. In all honesty, we were not sure who would come. But class after class, we were surprised by the diversity and number of persons interested. People of varied ages and […]
Why I Left Comfort and Stability for Cambodia
In June this year, I made the decision to move from arguably the most beautiful place on earth, New Zealand, to hot, dusty, Cambodia. (Some background information about me—I’m 22 years old and I hold a bachelors degree.) I’m currently juggling multiple […]
Would you go the extra mile?
I recently spent $70 because of Kenneth, a young sales attendant. (Well, also partly because of my need for new pants.) Considering the amount of reflection and thinking which has resulted from my purchase, the parting of cash may have been worthwhile after all. There are some lessons one […]
What’s Gritty, Unpredictable and Intentional?
It was close to 11 p.m. I had just finished leading a “challenging” night devotion with our young Cambodian friends about living a consistent life as a Christian. The challenge, I found, was not just in terms of the lesson delivered but in the delivery of the lesson. My […]
Living the gospel, so that others can see Christ
Sweaty palms and a knot in the stomach. That’s the reaction many of us have when it comes to sharing our faith. Let’s take the fear and worry out of evangelism. We don’t need to shout the gospel from the street corner to be a powerful witness.
Faithfully delivering the good news, and leaving the results up to God
Sharing our faith doesn’t always go as planned. We’d like to see someone accept Jesus the moment we present the gospel. But that’s not always the case.
What seems impossible to us is not impossible with God!
Have you ever prayed that a loved one would come to know Jesus, only to see that person move farther and farther away from God? Be encouraged to keep praying, and sharing the Savior.
One of the most important ways God reveals Himself to us, and to others
Our days are often crammed with tasks, errands, and the routine responsibilities that have to get done. Let’s leave a little room in our lives to experience wonder!
How embracing doubt can actually lead people to embrace the Savior!
When telling others about Christ, we often try to remove all uncertainty from their minds. We believe that doubt prevents people from coming to faith. Our series on evangelism continues.
A powerful way to share the gospel, without even saying a word
It’s been said, “Preach the gospel always. If necessary, use words.” We’re talking about shining the light of Jesus.
A guilt-free look at evangelism
This world can be a very dark place. But it’s in the shadows that Christians can shine the brightest! “Shine” for Christ, regardless of how strong or weak our light may be.
When it comes to sharing the gospel, we never work alone
How many Christians does it take to lead someone else to Christ? The answer is more than one! Be here for an encouraging conversation about sharing the gospel.
How to build a bridge into someone else’s world, and bring the hope of Jesus to them
It’s not uncommon to find walls erected around someone’s heart. These barriers make reaching people with the love of God a bit more difficult. A timely message of hope from the group.
