A History of Answered Prayer
-Randee Heath “The history of missions is the history of answered prayer.” –Samuel Zwemer Since the days of Paul, the request of prayer for people hearing the truth of the gospel has remained the same. In his letters while he was traveling, Paul earnestly requested prayer, suggesting “we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places”...

In an area of extreme drought, there is now a well! Our partner in Kenya, John Keshe, works hard to provide safe water. As a result of John’s hard work and the partnership with CMF and Connection Pointe, everyone from Ewaso Ngiro is now getting water at this shallow well. People are at this well throughout the night coming from as far away as 10 miles–something most of us can hardly fathom. Join us in celebrating what God is doing in the lives of these special people!

Read MorePoverty Isn’t Physical
Take a minute and ask yourself the question? What is poverty? Did you do it? I’m going to guess your answer goes something like this, “Lack of basic needs like clothing, food, water, and shelter.” Almost every American would answer exactly the same. When we see poverty we see the material side of it. The lack of clean water and food are what shock us. But, what if we ask the poor the question, “What is poverty?”. The poor have been asked before and their answer may surprise you. The poor...
Read MoreIf Jesus had been Macedonian
Guest post written by our missionaries in Maceondia. Their names have been kept confidential for security reasons. “If Jesus had been…” Amazing phrase. My head struggles with this phrase in one direction, and my heart also struggles, but toward another pole. My head says, “But Jesus was historical, a Jew, a travelling rabbi who also happened to be God on earth.” My head wants to warn me not to play this hypothetical game. But my heart shouts back, “This isn’t hypothetical! In fact, we...
