To be in Christ is the source of the Christian’s life; to be like Christ is the sum of His excellence; to be with Christ is the fullness of His.

Snow Struck
As we finished visits and work in Michigan earlier this week, the snow and ice storm struck our home in Tennessee on Monday. When life gives you unexpected snowstorms, what do you do? Create a friendly family competition!
2020 is a Wrap!
Since Agape opened, we have sought to give a Bible or New Testament to each patient on their day of discharge. One of the therapists writes a note in the front and presents it to them along with encouragement to read it. Obviously, we do not know how many people actually read them, but we recently heard a story that encouraged us all.
Hi! … & Bye!
No matter the generation of believers who trust the Creator-God Himself to make peace for sin-trapped humanity, some itinerant messengers share God’s news for their times. It does not differ today. Maranatha!
SOS & SOP
Save our Souls with Shouts of Praise! Thomas Jefferson knew that no man, no political party, no media pundit, and no tech giant could bring the healing and blessing that King Jesus affords to a nation! Taking cue from our update two weeks ago, we choose this week to rejoice in the goodness of God. His faithfulness never ends. His mercies renew every morning! Rejoice with us! Pray the Lord oversees the ordering of our tasks and events as we return to Cote d’Ivoire.
Garments of Praise
A new year peeks around the corner, beckoning us to great exploits with Jesus. Although a media vortex of pandemics, politics, and polemics swirls about us, our lives can be otherwise occupied.
The Rescue
Back in early November, we listened with interest to the report about Seal Team 6’s rescue of an American in northern Nigeria. The parallel to the Christmas season seems evident to us: our King left His throne and splendor to rescue humanity’s unworthy, sinful souls. It is a great joy for us to assist our Lord to multiply the ministries that use Community Health Evangelism (CHE) strategies, which affirm the value of every human life.
First Reactions
The ‘who’ or the ‘what’ to which we turn in life when disaster strikes or the unexpected happens measures true faith. First reactions demonstrate in whom or what we trust. The knee-jerk . . .
Belief Trap
There exists a common faith in our world that animates and intermingles itself with what we term the major world religions. Many call it ‘animism.’ The term represents beliefs that nature, which surrounds humanity, responds more to spirits, sacred forces, and extraordinary phenomena than to human activity. . . . the story of change in Boto describes a people who escaped the curse of living with animist falsehoods.
