Prayer Walks and Obedience

Every Adventist—no, make that every Christian—should attend AFM’s missionary training. While attending, Nikki and I learned many amazing concepts that opened our minds to new possibilities and strategies in winning souls. One of the things we learned about was prayer walks, which are exactly what they sound like. You go…

If God Is For Me . . .

God’s divine appointments are always followed by a trail of blessings we could have never imagined. Najaswak’s journey started several years ago while sailing. Admiring the grand artwork of our Lord’s creation, she suddenly heard the voice in her mind, “If God is for me, who can be against me?”…

The Hidden Candle

“I haven’t even told my family that I’m a Christian. I can’t even trust my best friends. If something goes wrong with my relationships, they will use this against my family and me. So, I don’t tell anyone.” I listened as Shira shared about her situation and her faith. I…

Reunions

“Ahhh! They came! Sensei (teacher), come see, come see!” Caitlyn and I grinned at each other as the elderly lady practically ran off to get the local church Bible worker. We had returned! Over two years ago, Caitlyn and I took a two-week vision trip to Japan to explore different…
