Unseen Blessings
By Lau Jya-Yhin, 19, Malaysia I had just started my part-time job as an assistant in a dental clinic in Penang, Malaysia. One day, I was appointed to prepare small finger-like cotton rolls with a pile of soft cotton wool while the dentist was on leave. As I sat in my seat observing how the [...]
Help Is On The Way!
When 33 miners were trapped in a Chilean mine deep under the earth’s surface, I wonder if they felt totally lost and doomed to a slow and painful death. Imagine how they must have been filled with joy when they got a message from above that the rescue team knew exactly where they were and that the process of getting them out had already begun!
One of those days
By Megan Low, Australia Woke up this morning feeling incomplete, discouraged and extremely lousy. I was thinking about my inabilities. I do not know how to share the gospel in my primary language, or speak a second fluently. I am not good at drawing. I can’t read music. I can only play the drums. But [...]
A Commitment To Care
During the months following the death of my wife’s mother, we received a number of cards and letters from the hospice team who had so lovingly cared for Mom and walked with our family along the pathway of loss. One letter offered thoughts on dealing constructively with grief. Another said, “As the date of your mother’s birthday approaches, we remember her, and our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.” These wonderful care- givers know that grieving is an ongoing process that requires continuing help and support. They exhibit deep compassion in all they do.

The graphics was fantastic and the characters were adorable! However, I realized that the sound effects were quite awkward and not as good as [...]
Cornered
One Sunday morning, D. L. Moody entered a house in Chicago to escort some children to Sunday school. During his visit, three men backed him into a corner and threatened him. “Look here,” Moody said. “Give a fellow a chance to say his prayers, won’t you?” The men actually allowed him to call out to God, and Moody prayed for them so earnestly that they left the room.
Pureed Pursuit
James was diagnosed with heart problems, and his wife, Becky, was no longer able to care for him or herself very well. They started looking for an assisted living home. One of Becky’s first questions as she visited each home was, “Do you puree your food?” She was concerned that James have the kind of food he needed for his swallowing difficulty. Several places answered “no,” so she kept searching. Finally she heard “yes” at a Christian assisted living home.
More than I could hope or dream of
By Cindy Clerk, 19, Czech Republic Everyone has dreams, though some may dream more than others. Human beings have the ability to dream or aspire, unlike all other living creatures. I have always had big dreams. Since I was 13, I knew where I wanted to study—abroad. When I was 15, I knew exactly what [...]
Any Distance, Any Time
For several years, I’ve corresponded with a pastor in Nepal who often travels with his church members to distant communities in the Himalayas to preach and plant churches. Recently he sent me his itinerary for the following week and asked me to pray.
When Not To Witness
Here in New England where I live, baseball is a near-religious pursuit. Even if it were against the law to talk about the Boston Red Sox while at work, the fans couldn’t stop—they love their team that much.
