As someone who grew up on the mission field, one of the things I’ve observed is this: There are many single people on the mission field. Most of them are women. I could almost hear fellow missionaries laughing. “Tell us something we don’t know!” they say. I’m smiling as I type. I am one…

* Names changed for security purposes. To believe in God is to embrace something that will radically change our lives. We all know this. Those who have truly embraced the call to follow Christ know how drastically it can transform a life. Change isn’t comfortable. To many people here, to embrace that kind…

August was an emotional month for us. Though there were wonderful things that God did (as he always does), a tragic experience left our missionary team saddened in its wake. We wanted to share this with you, not so that you would be filled with sadness, but that you might sense our hearts for the…

I have lived on the mission field for 3 ½ years. It’s been exciting to experience the goodness of God in His provision and love, and to see Him change lives—mine included. But the age-old Bible-proclaimed problem is: Satan does not want any of this to happen. He is smart and knows missionaries usually have…

She has always been in His arms. Now she can see the One who is holding her. Our hearts broke as we heard the news today.

She smiles less than most children her age. After all, she has grown up in the strong grip of poverty. Her father left her and her mother for another woman.
