Antioch Institute is training leaders so that “Every Church can be a Bible School”
Protestant missionaries went centuries ago to Ethiopia, but it was not until the 1920’s that they tried to establish a larger and permanent presence there. The missionaries bought large tracts of land (100-1000 acres) to use as mission stations. On these stations they would produce crops to fund their activities, build Bible schools, primary schools and medical clinics to meet the needs of the local people and provide a base to share the gospel from and raise their own families.

Liang has been blind for nearly 4 years. His blindness came suddenly and without explanation. He felt as if his eyes were on fire and within a matter of hours lost his sight. He has felt the burning sensation in his eyes ever since. He has no vision what-so-ever; he is 100% blind.

In Ethiopia I had the great honor of meeting a group of believers who lived in a very remote part of the country. There was no road to their village, only a random path marked by the odd African shade tree. When the pastor was directing me there, he tried to talk to me in his broken English. He explained that it takes him four hours to walk to the village. This village used to be fully Muslim. He shared with me that this church “was in the shadows”.

At one point Randy had a word of knowledge from the Lord that God wanted to heal someone from a ankle injury on the left ankle.

On March 4, 2003 Bill went to pick up another missionary family airport when he was killed by Islamic terrorists. The bomb was placed directly behind Bill, who had just returned from a Muslim area of Mindanao that day. It will never be known if he was followed there, or if it was random targeting. In the bomb blast, Bill along with 21 others were killed and more than 150 wounded, including Barbara Stevens and her two infant children, whom were co-workers that Bill had gone to the airport to pick up.

If we all know the Great Commission, why is it that still so many do not DO the Great Commission?
Here is the reason I think the Great Commission is not done by everyone. Look at this odd little verse (my Dad’s favorite verse) attached to the great calling of God for all believers: Matthew 28:16 “Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.”

I know from my Bible study that Abraham is called a “Father of Faith”; but honestly, as I was reading afresh from Abraham’s life, I just didn’t see it. I saw many characteristics, but not faith.

In previous years, I have had a perspective about respecting authority which may not have been Biblical. My perspective was, that to “respect authority” all I needed to do was not break the laws. At least not break significant ones! I feel strongly that God’s law comes first and man’s second.
