Chasing Foxes
The wise man Solomon spoke of the little foxes that spoil the vineyards. These are little habits, little thoughts, little indiscretions, or little lies that lead us away from complete obedience to Jesus, the vine, God’s Word. . . Families are weak, churches are weak, and our nation is weak because we have not individually chased away enough little foxes that gnaw at our faith in God’s Word speaking to . . .
Work, Watch, Wait
The linked video testimony prepared by two Ivorian CHE trainers will be shared in a CCIH forum on November 10. Despite short notice and difficult political circumstances, they succeeded in reporting about an initiative they started with Ivorian CHE workers during COVID. We hope this video report gives you a great reason to rejoice! Verlin learned some YouTube tools to edit the video report so it can be watched with closed captioning in English or French.
Give Me A “V”
Praise the Lord with us for the many Ivorians who, despite COVID-19, increase their efforts to share abundant life in Christ, without retreat. The CHE workers with whom we interact by phone have seized the pandemic crisis to evangelize, train, and equip more people than ever.
Mind Games
Mind games can lead to unnecessary worry. Have you had an occasion when your imagination ran away with you before knowing all the facts of a situation? We were tempted . . .
No Retreat
William Borden was born into a millionaire family in the late 1800s but renounced his privileged lifestyle to choose the life of a missionary. His parents sent him on a worldwide vacation after high school graduation and before he entered Yale. On the trip, Bill’s heart was touched by the needs of the world without Christ. Later . . .

Sometimes the good we need to accomplish is hindered because we fail to make the process a pleasant experience. When we make what is duty delightful, our commitment becomes easier to fulfill. We may even find others who want to join us. Learn to equip the willing to make the process of reconciling the world to Christ a more pleasant experience.
Wring or Ring Freedom?
Instead of wringinghands figuratively in despair as opposing opinions bicker to wrest power within our nation, let our voices ring with others in prayers united in repentance, trust, and obedience. May our hearts echo corporately the prayers of two American presidents spaced over 200 years apart as we meet.
Follow THE Leader
Follow me as I follow Christ. Paul’s advice in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to wayward believers also communicates prime counsel for fathers to offer their children. Although every dad . . .
Does God Propose?
The last three months have amusingly let echo in our lives an expression passed among Ivorian believers. “Man proposes but God disposes” (Proverbs 19:21 TLB; Thomas a Kempis, Homo proponit, sed Deus disponit, from Of the Imitation of Christ). Reviewing our last quarterly and the weekly editions that followed, we know a virus changed the plans of millions of people even more than for us.
In February, we rushed preparations to renew contact with ministry partners in MI, ID, IL, OH, NC, FL, MO, and TN. As COVID-19 reactions struck and
