Fascinating pictorial coverage of a pilgrimage to the shrine of Amamath cave, at 12,756 ft, in the snow covered Himalayan mountains. A beautiful display of the need a creation has for worship and devotion.  A chilling reminder of the need for those with Truth to go until they’ve heard and understand the Word.

Live daringly.  I was in a conversation today that spurred me to live more daringly.  It seems I’m in those kinds of conversations often these days. Because of what I do around the world, it is humbling to work with men and women who risk life and limb to carry Truth into dangerous contexts.

Maana Mungu aliupenda ulimwengu hivi hata akamtoa Mwana wake wa pekee, ili kila amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele.
Unless you have quick access to an online translator, I’m not sure how the words above can have any impact without having some understanding of Kiswahili. Even if you have a grasp on the basic [...]

After my post, I found the article linked below another indication that China is handling the “Christian Crisis” all wrong.
Thought: Threats of detention and imprisonment emboldens the actions of (Chinese) Christians who have been declared free forever.
I once heard a pastor in a closed country ask a stadium full of people to pray for MORE [...]

Chinese Christians Outnumber Chinese Communists

In 1949, many believed all religion would die in China and predicted the state would soon become the model of the secular, modern, post-religious state.
Read this article, and I think it may be time for some to admit the failure of the modern system to satisfy the cry of every human heart.
From the Article: “Despite [...]

MALAYSIA Kuala Lumpur authorizes importation and printing of the Bible in any language

This is great news.  When I was in Malaysia last, handing out a Bible was grounds for imprisonment or worse in some areas.  Good to see they’re becoming more enlightened.  I trust the Word will continue to do His work–He doesn’t need permission from the government to do that.

Remember that scene from the first fight in “Lord of the Rings”? Sure you do.  If not that one, I’m sure you remember the physiological and psychological effects of the well-crafted, well-told epic.
One of the crucial elements of communication includes the ability to transmit a message in a way that the audience can receive it. [...]

Reports out of Kabul indicate Musa released from prison and safely out of the country.  Continue to pray for those who are imprisoned for the gospel, including Shoaib Assadullah, who faces the same death penalty for handing someone a Bible.
