First of all thanks to Jenny for posting updates as well. So many stories. Never in my life did I imagine that I would be sitting on a bench in a village in Africa with all the members of a little village, praying for them and telling them that people whom they have never met [...]

Continued Prayers

The news from Nigeria is very encouraging! The team has been able to gain access to villages and distribute many, many Treasures (audio Bibles). To quote Christopher’s most recent E-mail, “Wednesday was even better than Tuesday! We were in a village and God was so present there in so many ways!”
I personally can’t wait [...]

Hello: Just a quick note to say we are all safe and doing well. And to say that your prayers and God’s power are really at work here. We have met with bishops, pastors and village chiefs who have said “Yes!” enthusiastically to accepting the audio Gospel called The Treasure. We are in awe of [...]

We’ve been doing a mini-series at church on fear, and today, Bill preached on 1 Samuel 12:24-13:14. In the passage, Saul is told explicitly to wait for Samuel’s return before taking action. But in the rush of his own anxiety, Saul decides to go ahead and press forward without Samuel, offering a “burnt offering” to [...]

Writing from the “communication centre” in the Amsterdam Airport. Some thoughts. The flight was fine, not a lot of rest. Before God can use us for great things, we usually have to be stripped down.

Isaiah 42:7 – “To open the eyes that are blind, to free the captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”
Some of the things we will be doing in Nigeria visiting the Fulani people: Deliver the “Treasures” (mp3 players of the Gospel in the Fulani language) to places around [...]

Fearless
Romans 8:12-25 (Remix of Sunday’s Sermon –audio available at www.firstgrandville.org; click on Resources then Downloads then Sermons)
FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real!
We are afraid of the dark, the future, failure and death. Why? These are all things we cannot see very well or at all.
And so what happens so often is that in [...]
