Once a week, Cindy and I lead out in a Bible study. The last time our small group met, we read Matthew 28:19, 20 and asked, “Who did Jesus give the Great Commission to?” One person said it was only given to Jesus’ disciples, reasoning that, just as Isaiah, Jeremiah…
During this past holiday season, the Lord really highlighted the word “wait” to me. In Croatia, the Advent season is widely celebrated, a time spent awaiting Jesus’ birth. As our children waited to open their gifts, they impatiently counted down to Christmas, each day asking how many more days they…
Our first year with AFM—training, fundraising and stepping into the unknown—reshaped us in ways we never expected. Looking back, five lessons stand out clearly.

Sometimes the most meaningful ministry begins in the back of a truck, surrounded by children who do not speak your language—but somehow understand you perfectly. I arrived on a Friday evening in the province of Surat Thani, Thailand, and the very next Sabbath morning, I was already experiencing something entirely…
Bending at the waist, I extended my hand. Positioned as I was, the monk either had to run me over, walk around me or stop. A quizzical smile appeared on his face as he took the two gospel booklets from my hand. “Happy New Year!” I said in English, a…
When I first arrived in Banlung, Ratanakiri, one of my very first tasks was to settle into a new home. But it was not simply about unpacking my belongings or arranging furniture. It was about creating a sanctuary—a small refuge where I could rest, reflect and reconnect with God at…
