This year moments have unfolded that remind us that divine plans surpass our own. At a lakeside baptism service, my family encountered another group having a baptism just as we were. They worship on Saturdays because their leaders are Sunday-keepers who have a church in the city, and drive out…
In Thailand, light switches are on the outside wall of rooms. For instance, the bathroom switch is positioned beside the door before you enter—true also for the kitchen, bedrooms and every other room. When we first moved here, this made absolutely no sense to me. Now I am not only…
One evening, my parents had a shocking surprise for my brother and me. “Boys, we are going to be missionaries,” my father and mother said. I froze. A bunch of thoughts suddenly ran through my mind at top speed. “Am I going to be persecuted?” I asked. “Japan is a…

When we talk about movements, however, some people worry. A movement involves rapid multiplication. Could this allow for spiritual immaturity and unbiblical beliefs to creep…
“Can you buy meat in America?” my friend asked. “Of course,” I replied, “Why couldn’t we?” “Well, I have never seen any American eat meat before.” Serving as a student missionary at the time, I chuckled silently to myself, thinking about what Americans would do if they could not get…
