A FRESH START The smell of mold is what first struck me as we walked into the concrete room with ten foot high walls which did NOT reach the rafters looming above, home to their own tiny residents. We had been given this “house” as our home for the next two weeks. My thoughts began swirling with anxiety over my …
Though I hate to admit it, I have always thought that God should be more good than He actually is. This week I realized that He is as good as He could possibly be and that all along He has been more just than I could ever understand. As I read Job this week I began to see someone (who …
by Nicette As a teenager I wanted to give my life for something. I wanted to be passionate about something and change the world. But I didn’t see God as someone to live and die for because I didn’t understand who He actually is. The Salvation message I heard as a kid was that Jesus died to save me from my sins and from …

story from Amy, who co-led the BSN/BELT team to Nigeria, Zanzibar and Tanzania. We sat in blue plastic lawn chairs in the front of the concrete church building in Zanzibar, listening intently.

Prisca and …

This was something that I was able to fully grasp when I was given the opportunity to share my own testimony in my teaching on “The Heart …
by Abigail H., BSN student The streets of San Francisco overwhelmed me at first. Trash lined the curbs. Urine painted the sidewalks yellow. Odious smells invaded my nose with each step I took. And right there on the sidewalks were so many people–from every color and every background–drinking, doing drugs, sleeping, living. I could barely look at the people because …
by Ben M., staff I was very excited to return to Japan with this year’s Bible School for the Nations (BSN) outreach. I had been there on my own BSN outreach in 2012 and would now have the opportunity to lead. Unfortunately, my funds were far from where I needed them. As I prayed and continued to trust God to …
by Abi H., Bible School for the Nations student In the breathtaking photos of Mt. Fuji, the shadow at the foot of the mountain is a forest. It’s known as Suicide Forest because so many people go there to end their lives. (Japan loses nearly 30,000 people to suicide each year.) Young teenagers and businessmen who simply cannot take the …
We came to Japan to tell people that they are valuable because they are created in the image of God and loved by him! What makes people valuable is not what they offer to society, not their position in their job, not their social status. This is the message we brought to Chi Alpha students at the prestigious University of Tokyo.
