Looking at Europe, we can easily see such spiritual darkness. We see the effects of sin on culture and society. We see the product of wasted lives and hopeless dreams. We see what happens when no direction or purpose is given. However, it was not always that way in Europe. Europe was once the home of great spiritual revival. Europe was once home to great Biblical study. Churches all over Europe once preached the Gospel of Christ. The truth was proclaimed! The Message was told! Yet all we see now is that spiritual darkness has captured a continent and affected the world.

Missionary - Tom Lancaster Question: I’m sure there are many that will read this article that don’t know you well, so can you give us some background information on you and your family, and how God led you to the place where you serve today? Don’t forget to give us the names and ages of all the children. Reply: Nearly 50 years ago Dottie and I had yielded our lives to do anything that God wanted us to do and we were very serious about that. That commitment to God has led us to start and pastor two churches in the states for a total of 25 years and then to spend the last 20 years serving a...

“Mr. Smyth, my teacher at Biblical School of World Evangelism, impacted my life, because he took the time to invest in my spiritual growth through his teaching and godly example." "Mr. McTague, a missionary to the Tibetan People of Nepal, was visiting my local church and after the service ended, he came and helped the men put up a tent. It may seem like such a small task to some people, but it left quite an impression on my life. The missionary was willing to labor alongside strangers, and he did it with joy in his heart as he served others. Mr. Mc Tague’s message was delivered with such p...

I’m not talking about finances; that is for another article, for another time. In other words, by what means does God choose to accomplish His mission for redeeming man back to Himself, that man might worship Him forever? Yes, God has chosen man to be His mouthpiece through the preaching of the Word of God, but more specifically, His means is the church. We know it as the “Great Commission,” and it did not come without the power needed to accomplish the task. “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in ...

That is a strange question for a missions magazine! Why would anyone want to lock the church doors? There would only be one reason . . . when no one comes! Some would say that would never happen in America. But as you read this magazine and hear the testimonies of missionaries in Europe, it has been happening there for years. In an article written on August 10, 2005 in USA TODAY entitled Religion Takes a Back Seat in Western Europe, a 39 year-old man from Dublin, Ireland stated, “I don’t go to church, and I don’t know one person who does. Fifteen years ago, I didn’t know one person who didn...

Missionary - Matt Green Question: I’m sure there are many that will read this article that don’t know you well, so can you give us some background information on you and your family, and how God led you to the place where you serve today? Don’t forget to give us the names and ages of all the children. Reply: Both Amanda and I were saved as children. We both also attended Crown College and got involved in available ministries. In 2006, Amanda traveled to Cambodia while I spent the summer in England. While there God put a burden in my heart for the British that eventually spilt over onto Am...

Missionary - Daniel Brown Question: I’m sure there are many that will read this article that don’t know you well, so can you give us some background information on you and your family, and how God led you to the place where you serve today? Don’t forget to give us the names and ages of all the children. Child Name: Micah Johnson Brown - 5/31/10 Reply: During our time at Bible College, God began to work on our hearts about the need for local New Testament churches to be planted worldwide. We felt that He was calling us to be involved, in some way, in starting local churches. Also during co...

INTRODUCTION: These chapters, II Corinthians 8 & 9, support the Bible truth that the work of God has never been supported solely by the tithe, but rather by tithes and offerings. Israel was often called upon to give offerings as well as the tithe. In fact, many Old Testament scholars believe the Jew of the Old Testament gave an average of 23% of their income to their worship of God. If that is true, they gave more in offerings than in tithe.

Why should you get familiar with Africa? As a child of God, you exist to glorify God, seek and save the lost, pray for the neediest peoples, and responsibly funnel the resources God has entrusted to you toward the places of greatest need. Working intelligently and strategically requires knowing what needs to be done and then doing it. If Jesus were a pastor today, where would He send missionaries? How about where missionaries and the church aren’t? When you picture in your mind a “good Christian,” that concept should include a map, news of current events, and online research sources which i...
