Testimonies of Growing Churches
As part of a practical exercise in listening to the Holy Spirit is going out into the town and finding a person of peace (Luke 10:6). Before going out in groups of three people they went they prayed seeking the Holy Spirit’s revelation about the people whom God wanted them to meet. More than fifty…
Recently, I was teaching in the Kale Heywet School of Missions in Durame, Ethiopia. I was impressed with the students there, their eagerness to learn, but more importantly their closeness with God. As students they were not simply learning strategies or compiling knowledge, but exercising their faith in spiritual disciplines. Daily Schedule 3:00-5:00am Morning…
During rainy season in Cambodia our showers are fast and violent. It will rarely rain for hours on end, but usually strong weather systems move across Cambodia rapidly. They are often preceded by violent wind storms; many which whip up micro-tornadoes. Our Kracheh children’s center was hit by a micro-tornado a few years ago and…
Enoch, or Henok in Ethiopian, is a missionary evangelist who has served God in many remote areas of Ethiopia. Five years ago he served in a desert region which borders Somalia.

On Easter 1999, my wife on I were on our honeymoon which led us to Israel. It was a time in our lives which we will never forget because the Bible came alive to us walking where Jesus walked. One of the most powerful things for us was the “Via Dolorosa” or the Way of…
As Christians on this earth christened with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20), we have been told to “go into all the world.” For centuries it was a rare few that ventured into boats and disappeared across the horizon in the search of lost souls to bring to Christ. Though missionaries have been attached to local…
After working in Cambodia for nearly two decades I have noticed how my perceptions, opinions and effectiveness have changed over the years. When I first came to Cambodia I thought that I would be able to make significant changes in the nation in a few months, at most in a year or so. Looking back…
I love Christmas. I love singing Christmas songs. According to my Philippine background, I celebrate Christmas in all the “ber” months! So from SeptemBER to DecemBER I celebrate!
