Ferry Fees
As Verlin traveled to and from a celebration of life ceremony, we better understand an incredible story of how ferry fees bless a community using Community Health Evangelism (CHE). In south-central Cote d’Ivoire exists a village that can only be . . .
Keeping Your Heart Healthy
I was introduced to a group of women as a teacher and doctor here to discuss health for one hour during a 3-day Pastors’ Wives conference. But I wanted these women to see that health is important to God, and that the church has a key role of bringing healing
Lasting Footprints
At times, we all wonder if we will leave lasting footprints for the Lord during our time on earth. During Verlin’s time in Ghana, he was delighted to get to know a West African missionary named Paul. Paul’s father, Isaac, worked for . . .

Tweak
The start of 2022 seems a good time to tweak our update. The first section, “Taste and See,” will convey a Biblical thought, Community Health Evangelism (CHE) concept, testimony, or world event for encouragement.

Finally, “Prayer and Praise” remains the same at the bottom. Let us know what you think!

Cleanup Champs
The fourth batter in baseball line-ups gets named the cleanup hitter for the sake of hope: the coach trusts him to meet the moment with some play to get some prior batter(s) to Homebase.
Our God coaches believers to meet our moments in getting others to their eternal home. Verlin got sent to encourage a young pastor and church leadership into …
Ascents of Faith
Ascended fathers walking in ascendant faith conform this world to be a City of God. Each accepts seeing possibilities rather than resign himself to enduring impossible situations.
Ascended Faith
Recently a young couple married. In greeting Verlin on announcing the planned wedding day months ago, the engaged stated, ‘I still remember the banana!’ It took Verlin a moment, but then he remembered. Inciting a . . .
