My Friend Polly

It took her several minutes to understand the miracle that happened in that story, but it was so cool to see the light go on in her face as she realized what Jesus did…

I Found Your Name

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 by Skittles

So, she texted me and said she had just found a Bible at her campus and couldn’t wait to tell me about it because she found the story with my name in it!

I smiled as I scanned the text I just received from a new friend, Pearl. “I am sure our friendship will open and for long.”

Traveling with Suzanne

Friday, September 18th, 2009 by Skittles

After spending two years here I’ve been to almost all the places I really want to go,at least that’s what I thought. Well, Suzanne (our landlord) called on Thursday and asked if Autumn and I would be interested in taking a weekend trip to see some old villages in the countryside…

Growing In Prayer

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 by Skittles

I sat on my bed in tears and completely exhausted at the end of the second day in our scouting trip. I thought it had been a great day, right up until the last few moments. We had gone to the first campus that day, prayed a lot, and gathered information, even finding that there [...]

Sabrina

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 by Skittles

We had invited a few of our close friends over to celebrate Easter with us. The food was already ordered from a nearby restaurant, and there wasn’t really anything left to do to prepare. Sabrina was on my mind. I had met her two days before around 11 o’clock at night on the way to [...]

We all were gathered there for a Bible study. But I wasn’t exactly sure how it would go. Things with [...]

Sunshine outside, heart change inside?

Thursday, March 26th, 2009 by Skittles

I didn’t expect to meet Luky that weekend. I hadn’t really gone out of my way to see her this year. Although she was one of the very first people I met last year, I knew she wasn’t hungry for God at all. But I thought of her when I was eating a special holiday [...]

Three Stories

Sunday, March 15th, 2009 by Skittles

Three friends- each with a story, each with a response: Alice shared hers first. As we shared some local food, she poured out her heart about what the Lord has been doing in her life over the last several months and how He has healed her. I should explain a little bit about Alice. I [...]

Bed Time Conversations

Monday, March 2nd, 2009 by Skittles

Without a doubt, my favorite part of the time at Celia’s was the first night when we opened the Bible together. She had emailed me before our trip and said that was something she wanted to put on the schedule, and I was excited. As we sat on the bed, she opened up a notebook [...]
