Successful Trip to Ohio

mikeandsus

  Sus had an amazing trip to Ohio to visit donors and she appreciates all your prayers for safe travel. She was able to make the best use of her time by setting appointments before her arrival. She drove all over Ohio from Cincinnati to Xenia to Newark to Wooster to Chardon to Lakewood to Olmsted Township to Amherst and more. She had her first opportunity to see the headquarters for Campus Crusade’s Athletes in Action ministry in Xenia. Sus was aware how God fit every day together perfectly. Almost daily He seemed to say “I am with you.” After … Continue reading Successful Trip to Ohio

Persuasion and Example

mikeandsus

To paraphrase 2 Corinthians 5: 9 – 11, because I know that my life is a stewardship of the life God has given me, I seek to win people over by persuasion and example. So, how can I be intentional in seeking people for Christ? Just being around them and loving the lost exposes them to the life of Christ. • Visit your neighbor • Chat with your mailman • Have neighbors over for games and dessert Who else might I see regularly that I can get to know? • People at the gym • The grocery clerk • A … Continue reading Persuasion and Example

The Right Tract at the Right Time

mikeandsus

I was waiting my turn as the clerk answered questions for the man in front of me. I was half-listening and began to check my purse for tracts. Nuts! I thought. I had not re-stocked my purse and only had Spanish Four Laws. “Where are you from?” the clerk asked his customer. “Mexico,” he replied. As the man finished his purchase, I welcomed him to our country and he accepted a tract from me. Like many non-English-speaking people I meet, he was pleased to get a booklet in his own language. I was amused that God made sure I had … Continue reading The Right Tract at the Right Time

Too Much of a Good Thing

mikeandsus

The clerk watched me rummaging through my purse. I had already paid and should have been walking away. I was pawing through more than seven varieties of tracts trying to find the right one. The minute this took to do was agonizingly long. This is awkward, I thought, as I finally handed her a little green booklet. I went home and removed some of the tracts. Normally, I chat a little while a clerk is ringing up my purchase. I also try to use their name or at least read their name badge. I get my tract out while they … Continue reading Too Much of a Good Thing

Freedom

mikeandsus

I felt lighter… and not just because I had just tossed a boxful of unread magazines into the dumpster! For a long time I felt obligated that I must read those magazines. I finally realized it was not going to happen and decided to just toss them out! I definitely had a sense of freedom now that I did not have to find the time in my life or the space in my home for those magazines. Since then, I have donated old educational magazines to schools, which were very glad to get them. (Nursing homes or other places may … Continue reading Freedom

The Seed of the Church

mikeandsus

Three Men Martyred in Turkey The details were grisly and shocking. The brutal murder of three Christians has the attention of many people in Turkey and around the world. Susanne, the wife of the German missionary, told reporters, “Oh, God forgive them, for they know not what they do,” quoting Jesus’ words on the Cross. Her words are powerful in a world where revenge is the norm. Martyrs: The Seed of the Church We do not know at this time what the impact of the murders and of her forgiveness will have on Turkey. Throughout the centuries, wherever martyrdom occurs, … Continue reading The Seed of the Church
