Sowing the Seed

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011 by Xena

Music filled the air as our friends lowered their hands quietly, seeking to hear a word from Him. I closed my eyes and
asked God to speak to my friends in a clear and incredible way. We went around the circle and each of our friends shared the amazing things God shared with them. We got to our friend Jane and I was in awe! “Dad can speak without using words. I feel that He loves me no matter what I do.” She looked at my friends and I and said, “God calls you beloved sons and daughters, and I think I want to be one. I think you are sent here to tell me about Him”.

Real Beauty

Monday, March 28th, 2011 by Autumn

The parties we’ve been having are going really well. Last week, I had several girls over and had a “beauty night” where we played games, painted our nails, and ate dinner together. Before dinner, I shared with them about what real beauty is, how it comes from the heart, but how the only way to [...]

Amy’s Persecution

Thursday, March 24th, 2011 by Autumn

My friend Amy, a sister from last year, has been persecuted a lot for her faith this semester. When I met her last week, she told me that people have been harassing her for her belief in God, that several people have confronted her, calling her a traitor to her country, and accusing her of [...]

The Best Imitation of Myself

Thursday, March 24th, 2011 by Atlas

One of the greatest things about living in Asia is the complete disregard for copyright and trademark laws. I live in a place where I can buy movies for less than a dollar that people in America are paying $11 to see in the theater. I can buy a Rolex for $5, a Lacoste polo [...]

Encountering the King

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011 by Fay

I think it’s so cool how God speaks to us and our friends. Sometimes all He needs is for me to step out of the way so He can talk to my friends Himself! Also, it is such a testimony for my friends to the truth of God’s existence, and His love, when He speaks directly to them. Even though Jane is not a Christian (yet), she heard God speak to her clearly. She knows His love for her even though she did not grow up hearing about it! It’s an awesome thing to see :)

Creative Sharing

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011 by Simba

After I had finished drawing my picture, I noticed the professor’s painting.  We were at a new creative arts club on our campus.  My picture had a Jewish star with a cross through the center of it.  His had these and many more “religious” symbols.  I looked at him and before I could speak, he [...]

Starting a Study

Monday, March 21st, 2011 by Amilah

Last semester, God put it on my heart to start a Bible Study (only using the local language) with a couple of friends.  As I added the idea to my list of goals, I was more than intimidated and even doubted that it could be possible.  I came into this new city with very little [...]

His Vision

Thursday, March 17th, 2011 by Enoch

First, I just want to thank you all for thinking of me! I’m doing a lot better now, I feel recharged and ready to go! Something really cool happened to me last week. I had a vision. I want to share it with you all.

New Lunchbox Day

Monday, March 14th, 2011 by McDoogle

  Remember when going back to school meant a new lunchbox and 3-ring binder? Wow, I wish life were still like that! It was the first day of school. Part of me was like “McDoogle, don’t worry, you got this. You’ve done this before, it’s just like last semester. No worries.” The other part of me [...]

Encounters with God, our Friends…and the Local Locksmith

Sunday, March 13th, 2011 by Xena

Well, we are back on a regular schedule and things have been interesting to say the least. Last Wednesday was our first “girls night” hosted at our apartment. This is just a time to get to know all the girls that attend and see if they are interested in learning about the Gospel. We had [...]
