The Sower Quoted in Worldwide Challenge Magazine

Recently, I was asked if a writer from Campus Crusade’s award-winning magazine, Worldwide Challenge, could share a story from The Sower blog. The reporter was writing an article encouraging readers to share their faith with people they encounter every day. The article, “Gospel on the Go,” is in the January / February 2008 issue on page 39, or you can follow this link to read it, if you like. The post that the reporter used for the article was When the face is familiar. With a circulation of almost 90,000, WWC magazine challenges Campus Crusade’s friends and donors to partner … Continue reading The Sower Quoted in Worldwide Challenge Magazine

Your Work, Your Ministry

“A while back I was in Liverpool. I met a woman who had worked as an administrator in the National Health Service for seventeen years. She said to me, ‘Only last year I realised that this was my ministry.’ And she said these words to me: ‘How sad it is that so many Christians die without knowing the ministry God had for them.’” ~ from The Great Divide, page 11 I am keeping this entry very short with the hope that you will read The Great Divide: Overcoming the SSD Syndrome, a lecture by Mark Greene given in Belfast in … Continue reading Your Work, Your Ministry

In Memoriam

Even though we had known each other for fifteen years, I did not talk to our neighbor, Sonia, very often. We would have a little conversation once in a rare while. We prayed together out on the street the morning of 911. I had not really talked to her much since that morning as I stood at her door early in 2007. She invited me in and our conversation took an unexpected turn. “Rajan is an alcoholic,” she told me. I was shocked! I never suspected Sonia’s husband had a drinking problem. “I’m thinking about a divorce,” Sonia confessed. I … Continue reading In Memoriam

Give God More Room to Work

A white Christmas. Relaxing and playing games with the family. Next week promises to be another wonderful family get-together. I’m looking forward to it, especially since we have had an incredibly busy few weeks preparing for our Christmas celebration. I just have not had the time to post on The Sower this month like I wanted to. Thank you so much for reading the Sower. Have a great Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior and I look forward to serving you in 2008 as God leads. I’m doing my last-minute packing and just remembered to pack my tracts for … Continue reading Give God More Room to Work

Your Stories

Today’s post is for you. I started the Sower on xanga.com on November 3, 2005. My first post was not even written by me, but was from a friend’s email. This post, The Harvest, is still very popular even two years later. In fact, I used an email from Janey again in my most recent post. Almost all my relatives are Christians. I am not overseas. I am not on a campus. I have never served in the military. I do not go to work 9 to 5, but YOU do. If you have a story about sharing your faith, … Continue reading Your Stories

A Walk By Faith

Strange noises from who knows what came out of the jungle. Every time Janey heard the strange sounds, she looked in the direction of the noise and fell into the underbrush . . . probably disturbing the “who-knows-whats” of the African bush. Earlier, Janey and a group of others had traveled for hours and arrived at “who-knows-where” and decided to have a picnic. They had been showing the “Jesus” film near Illoran, Nigeria, and decided to take a little break from the showings at a beautiful waterfall. Afterwards, they discovered the van was stuck. The group found several young boys … Continue reading A Walk By Faith
