The Sower: Explained by a Farmer

With the start of a new year, and a less hectic schedule before me, I plan to return to posting every ten days or so. Thank you for your patience! A friend directed me to a great video which explains the parable of the Sower. The film follows an 80-year-old wheat farmer who explains about growing wheat and how weeds, poor soil, and other factors Jesus mentions in his parable will affect wheat plants. This complete video is only available for a limited time, so you may want to watch it ASAP. I posted my thoughts after viewing the video … Continue reading The Sower: Explained by a Farmer

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.

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”

The Message in the Writing

“Here’s $5.05 for your $2.02.” I handed the optician my money with a bemused smile. “And here’s $3.03 for your $5.05,” he replied as he handed me my change. We were both amused with how the money came out. I was still smiling as I offered him a tract, Would You Like To Know God Personally. “I already know the Lord,” he said as he handed it back to me. “Please give this to someone else.” “Here is something for you, then.” I took the tract from him and offered Discovering God in Chinese Characters to him. “This tells how … Continue reading The Message in the Writing

Praying for Europe

Four years ago, 40,000 Christians gathered in Basel, Switzerland, for prayer. God drew Christians from all 2800 Swiss political districts. This gathering was unprecedented.

You can watch a video of Europe’s first day of prayer, Christustag.04 (Christ’s Day) and find prayer requests for the different European countries.
