Fifteen years ago while on a trip to East Africa, I met Davis. He was in his early 20s and had just received Christ and was being discipled by my friend Ephraim from Uganda. Ephraim was starting a church in Kampala Uganda at that time and was looking to my friend and church planter Ibrahim [...]
Just over a week ago, 20,000 believers met in Hong Kong for a holy convocation. YWAM’s Lynn Green called it “Indescribable.” He said, “There were three sessions a day and the Chinese believers who made up the vast majority of this event lined up about 10-abreast for over a mile before every session.“ The Church [...]
The bible explains that angels are ministering spirits sent by God to minister to those who are heirs of salvation…that’s us, by the way (Hebrews 1:14). John G. Paton, pioneer missionary in the New Hebrides Islands, once told a chilling story. He said a group of local men surrounded his mission headquarters one night, intent [...]
When I was a young boy, I really wanted a chemistry set. My parents never got me one. I think they were afraid that I would blow the roof off the house! However, I improvised by making my own experiments. One day I mixed baking soda and vinegar and discovered they make a great explosion! [...]
Jesus disciples were in trouble. They were told to feed over 5000 people and all they had were a few loaves of bread and a few fish. Jesus blessed what they had and his disciples watched the loaves and fish supernaturally multiply right before their eyes. It was amazing! Everybody ate. And they had twelve [...]

When was the last time you complained, “God, why do you allow me to experience bad days? I’m serving you. It just doesn’t seem right.” I used to complain like that far too often. Then one day I realized that the Bible instructs us, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God [...]
A word from God can change your life forever. But, let’s face it, at times we may feel as if He has stopped speaking. We are not alone in experiencing God’s silence. Think of Joseph, whose story is told in the book of Genesis. Not only did God seem silent when Joseph was sold into [...]
After I spoke in Sofia, Bulgaria the other evening, a young girl about fourteen years of age came up and told me her story. She is a new Christian from a family who are not believers in Christ. She said that she is meeting regularly with a few girls in her school and helping them [...]
I am presently ministering in Bulgaria. Believers in this nation experienced much pain during the days of Communism because many church leaders were imprisoned for their faith. Last night a pastor told me that during the reign of Communism, his pastor died in prison a day before he was to be released. A short time [...]
