You pull into work on Monday. You do a double-take. Shaking your head and rubbing your eyes, you stare. Am I going crazy? Is this a dream? Your place of work is gone. Panicked, you log in to your bank’s website to check your financial situation. How long can my family stay afloat? Instead of […]

Saved from Mob Justice
There is a popular song in East Africa that teaches the community that a witchdoctor and a liar deserve to be set on fire. This happened to Mr. Buyongwe (Buy-yong-wee) John, an 80-year-old man who was a well-known witchdoctor, who lived in the Cankozo District in the Republic of Burundi. The people of Cankozo were fed up with the witchcraft practices of Mr. Buyongwe. This led to poverty because many people paid all their money to him to solve their problems. One day the community decided to (punish) his witchcraft lies by setting him on fire.

10 Years Later: Does Our Ministry Bear Lasting Fruit?
Over my ten-plus years in Poland, I have participated in a number of children’s camps, and the Lord has granted me the privilege of praying a salvation prayer with 15-20 kids. The first two boys who ever asked me to pray this prayer with them were in my Bible class at a camp in the summer of 2003. One of these two was a 10-year-old boy named Krzyś. Unfortunately, we have very little chance for follow-up on the kids at camp, so I’ve often wondered what effect the salvation prayers have had on the kids’ lives after camp. As is typical in Poland, Krzyś and I had no opportunity for further contact after our summer camp ended.
An Unbelievable Provision.
From Steve on Instagram: “Zambezi : Well thanks for all the partnership in prayer. Wow, what a day! End of the paved road, no diesel in the only fuel station and no real commitment on when fuel will be delivered. What to do? John Jere on the cell phone trying to call anyone who knew […]
