Groups like ANM help people receive and access the Bible - in their NATIVE language. Right now, we are partnering to promote them giving Children’s Storybook Bibles to China. These Bibles could end up in the hands of children who have NEVER been exposed to Jesus. How cool is that?
Read MoreWhat does mission work look like now, after a year of most everything being shut down? This is a question I’ve been pondering lately. When we hear the word “missions”, most of us think of someone living far off, possibly even in another country. Today, I believe it looks like that, plus something a little different.
Read MoreThis month, our theme in Tirzah Magazine is justice and missions. Missionary work is often bucketed into just one category: overseas missions. But what if we’re called to missions work in one way or another, whether it is at home or abroad?
Read MoreWhere is your faith placed? Is it in man? History and current events should help you conclude that will never be the best idea. Or is it in Jesus Christ? I hope this is your answer.
Read MoreMy best friend calls me a well-digger. I’m not sure I fully understood what that meant until I heard a Christine Caine message from January’s Passion 2020 Conference. She talked about how God wants to dig into old ministries and do new things. He wants to create completely new ministries as well.
Read MoreFrom someone who lived in Wuhan at one point in her life, and adopted her son from China, Brittany shares the Wuhan she knows and loves, along with ways we can pray and practically care for others during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Read MoreIn August 2016, I had recently come home from a two-month mission trip to New York City. We all (overseas missionaries and domestic missionaries alike) had to return to the organization we went through before they would let us return home. The organization warned me of the reverse culture shock that I would experience when I returned home. I looked around me at all the people who had gone overseas for the summer and thought, “They can’t be talking about me, since I stayed in America this summer.”
Read MoreThere is this tension of wanting to point more people to Jesus by providing content people will visually enjoy but also wanting them to not see you (or a pretty filtered version of you and your life), but to see the One whom you preach and serve. To be a transparent being who is the hands and feet and the voice of the Savior, without becoming a savior for the hungry, hurting souls searching for meaning, healing and nourishment.
Read MoreThe first time I heard a message like this was in my home church. A man from India traveled all the way to Northern Idaho and was talking about missionary work. He was the first person to ever help me see what a “missionary” is in the Biblical sense.
Read MoreI grew up surrounded by other Christians, and my mother was the children’s pastor at our church. For years, I would attend church on Sunday morning, leaving the house before sunrise and getting home late in the afternoon. However, as I grew older, I realized I did not have a relationship with God.
Read MoreAfter months of prayers and applications, I found myself feeling angry, disappointed, and without a response from God. It has been months and I’m still here. Didn’t Jesus call us to go? My hope was that maybe God would lead me to a completely new city or maybe He would call me to go on mission in a foreign country, away from all that was familiar. I prayed, “God, take me anywhere you want to go.”
