Faithful in Little, Faithful in Much

  When I arrived at Zawadi House in Arusha, Tanzania, I was greeted by a nice young man named Leonard. In fact, all of the staff at Zawadi House were very kind and eager to please. I remember Leonard helping carry my suitcases to my room and showing me how to operate the air conditioner...

I leaned over to the Bishop and said, "Steel poles, bare wires, and a microphone in my hand during a lightning storm; What could possibly go wrong?"

Ellen’s Story

  Walking along a path through a nearby village, Ellen stopped to listen to the music. For some reason, she felt drawn to the group of people gathered under the tent. “Imagine my surprise,” recounts Ellen, “when I saw a white woman preaching!

…and we danced!

During my three month visit to Malawi recently, I had the opportunity to pray over many, many people. Most of these opportunities came at the end of open air crusades.

He and his friends from Ally Force Ministries cooked food for several outreaches on the Holy Smoker Grill. This past Friday, a team of 20 of us were privileged...

Also,to identify yourself as anything but Buddhist was asking for hardship in your life. While technically it was not against the law to be a Christian, it was almost impossible to get a job, go...

Six Weeks. That's about the total amount of time I have left at home here in Minnesota before my next fun-filled mission season! Six weeks. That's also the amount of time I spent in Malawi last fall. Malawi. A place that began as "my first mission trip" in 2008  and has grown to what I...

Flight to Germany

A few weeks before leaving for Germany, I carefully considered switching my seat on the plane. I thought about the added comfort of "Comfort Economy" and then weighed that against the possibility of the seat next to my current one remaining open. There was a real chance it might be. Originally my mother was booked...
