Phos House Evangelism Day – Pt 2 “A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of having a time to do evangelism with some of my housemates. Together, we decided to walk along the lake shore trail to see if the Lord would lead us to anyone. As we were on our way, we walked past two African American men …
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 …
“Well, what do we do now?” I asked Bethany and Joyce. I felt a bit like a lost puppy as we stood in the middle of the McDonald’s parking lot in Alexandria, Virginia. Our Outreach leaders had just dropped us off here for a day of street evangelism. “Today, you three are going to do ministry by yourselves,” Emily told …
Our tuk-tuk rumbled down the dirt path kicking up trails of garbage behind us. As far as the eye could see, there was trash in every direction. But although the landfill looked hopeless, I felt a profound sense of peace that I couldn’t explain. We rolled to a stop and climbed out of our vehicles with bags of fresh bread …
When our contact suggested that we do coffee ministry in a park in downtown Morelia, we had no idea what to expect. But as we prayed, God gave us many ideas about what we could do. So, we set out with several YWAM Morelia staff members, chalk, coffee, face paint, signs that said “abrazos gratis!” (free hugs!) and our hearts …
This was not at all what we expected. We were supposed to be ministering at an orphanage. But when those plans fell through, we found ourselves on the streets of Morelia, inviting the homeless to join us for hot chocolate, bread, and our street performance. Rachel and I walked up to an older lady. Our simple “hola” seemed to open …
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 …
Did you know that we live in a world of 7,111 different languages, 1,879 of which do not have any written texts from the Bible. And these 1,879 languages represent 1.5 billion people who have no portion of the Bible in their language. That’s roughly the population of the entire continent of Africa!
Can you imagine if every missionary had a Bible in their hands that was translated into the language of the unreached people group they are called to? Can you imagine if missionaries like us were able to invest in training, encouraging, sending, promoting, supporting and loving young people who could take their inheritance in the advance of the Kingdom of God, by taking part in translation projects around the world into these last chapters of history?
I saw a man sitting by himself on a grassy hill near our picnic spot. I grabbed my friends Lindsey and Nathan and together we walked over to introduce ourselves. “I’m Shane,” he said with a smile. And within moments we were deep in conversation. Shane told us his journey to living on the streets. He’d struggled with alcohol for …
The physical passion of Christ began in Gethsemane. Of the many aspects of His initial suffering, the one which is of particular physiological interest is the bloody sweat. Interestingly enough, the physician, St. Luke, is the only evangelist to mention this occurrence. He says, “And being in an agony, he prayed the longer. And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground” (Luke 22:44 KJV).
