I went on a few trips to other parts of the country this summer. I met up with people who have recently come to the Lord. In a city of over a million people, along with several local believers, we met people who had ordered Bibles online. One man we met had read the Bible …
There has been a combined effort in our city of all the churches hosting activities to make our presence known, through Christmas concerts, markets, and art exhibitions. These have been held in popular venues and quite well attended. One of the concerts was held at the Vatican consulate with standing room only and many simply …
The majority of the guys I’ve been meeting with have been students from other cities, so when summer break begins, they scatter, making it difficult to keep in contact with them. Praise the Lord, some have been accepted by their families as believers and have even been able to witness to friends and family. However, …
A section of the language course I’m taking is for sharing stories about my life. I continue to have encouraging words with my teacher about faith. This week I shared with her about my time in High School when I was really searching about God. I had spent a lot of time reading the Bible …

I was curious to meet this man who had requested a New Testament. Was he already a believer? On meeting us in his city, he invited us into his house, which is not common here. We learned that he is a teacher and has studied both philosophy and psychology. He had been an atheist all …
Restrictions eased in the summer, and I headed to the eastern part of the country with one of my housemates. We went to visit some believers and people interested in the Gospel. Some of these believers have been rejected by their families and are not welcome in their home towns. We traveled to a town …
I met a man, A, who lives about an hour away. He had received a Bible from our group three years previously and became a believer on his own. He’d been waiting for someone to meet with him ever since. When one of our teammates did meet him, they found a solid committed believer who …
