The Disconnect

I was glad and sad when my husband bought a transponder for the van I drive. I liked the convenience of not having to stop to pay tolls, but was saddened that I would not be handing tracts to the toll collectors anymore. Have you ever thought of the many ways we have been disconnected from the people around us? We swipe a card at the gas pump. We use an ATM instead of chatting with the bank teller. We can do our own checkout now at several stores. Increasingly, we can do many things without interacting with people. When … Continue reading The Disconnect

The Amazing Ministry of an “Ordinary Man”

I hope you will take a few minutes to watch this encouraging video. Frank Jenner may have seemed ordinary on the outside, but spiritually, he was extraordinary! Frank Jenner spoke just a two-sentence witness to ten people daily on George Street in Sydney, Australia. He may have spoken to over 100,000 people in the twenty-eight years of his ministry. For sixteen of those years he never knew if these brief conversations with strangers ever bore any fruit. God arranged for him to learn that countless people from all over the world had not only responded to the Gospel, but went … Continue reading The Amazing Ministry of an “Ordinary Man”

“Thank you,” Doctor Marty said, “these look interesting.” I handed four Creation magazines to him to leave out in his waiting room. If you are a frequent reader of The Sower, you may have noticed my posts have been irregular lately. I’ve been very busy with a lot of doctors’ appointments. Quite a few of these doctors are believers, so I’ve been offering them my back issues of Creation magazine. By sharing your old magazines, books, videos, and music, you will touch people’s lives. I also have more waiting room suggestions and more ideas about giving away Christian materials on … Continue reading Recycling

The Waiting Room

If you have Christian magazines, take some with you next time you are visiting a waiting room. Your pediatrician might enjoy having Focus on the Family magazines for his waiting room or exam rooms. The magazine could be their monthly newsletter magazine or a subscription. Take a handful of Significant Woman tracts with you on your mammogram appointment for the waiting room. (Beginning Your Journey of Significance and Living a Life of Significance). Maybe you have a Christian video for your doctor’s waiting room or flyers for your church’s next big outreach event. Be sure to ask permission to leave … Continue reading The Waiting Room
