#Iwitness: MORE STORIES of God’s Amazing Work in Our World
#Iwitness: More than Refugees in the Middle East
Iraq is suffering, Assyria is in pain. Biblically, the Assyrian Empire was stretching all over the Middle East, including Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and parts of Iran, and some other regions. As the Bible talks about doom in Assyria and Iraq, we can sense strongly that the children there are resurrecting hope, peace, and forgiving those who trespass against them. They are Christ-like.
#Iwitness: Seeking God in Times of Ease & Difficulty: An Example from Cuba
I was making my way across Cuba in a Tico, which has the interior space the size somewhere in between a toaster and a VW beetle. My companion was Otoniel Martinez and we were headed to Camaguey to train thirty-five leaders to begin new churches. Otoniel had planted twenty-seven churches despite the resistance of persecution.
#Iwitness: God at Work in the Muslim World
“Don’t make ripples, make waves” said Van, an elderly, Californian, ocean-loving product of the Jesus Movement. Van mentored a number of hippies who would “go into the world to make disciples of all nations.” My passion for the Church in the Global South and its role in missions began with those words when I was serving in Mexico.
#Iwitness: An Unlikely Confluence for the Roma Church
“I have read your three articles on the Roma people,” she wrote me from California in September of 2013. “I now have the burden to encourage the Chinese Church to care about the Roma people.”
#Iwitness: The Holy Spirit, Henry, and I on a Ten-thousand Mile Road trip in South America
I live in Peru, where I started the Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA). I wanted to visit the CMA in Argentina and in Paraguay. Henry, a member of one of the clubs I visit in Lima, wanted to travel to Rio de Janeiro, so we decided to journey together on our “iron horses.”
#Iwitness: One Stone, Many Birds
The visitor responded, “Usually I go to church on Saturdays.” Without asking which church he used to attend, I asked, “Which story in the Bible do you like best?” He turned to ask his wife. “Many,” she responded.
#Iwitness: When Children Worship: An Evening in Lesotho
Church planting is the fastest way to evangelize! I knew this for decades, but this evening I saw it with my own eyes.
#Iwitness: Holding on to God in Mongolia
Why are we here, and how will God use a veterinarian and teacher in what he is doing in Mongolia? was the question ringing in our heads. We were to learn that credentials were not a priority with God.
