The Hard Stuff No One Wants to Tell A ...

You don’t become a missionary by raising money and flying to a foreign country. You do it by being obedient to God. Tell people about Jesus where you live. Get out of your comfort zone. Sell something precious and apply it to your debts. Make a sacrifice. Develop better friendships. There is an old saying: “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” While this is not to be taken literally in this sense, (please, don’t start wearing the national garb of the country you want to go to just yet). However, somewhere in the process, we have to make a conscious decision that there is no going back.

The Miracle of the Oasis

More than 30 years ago, the last evangelical church in the municipality of Bergen, Netherlands, closed its doors, leaving no evangelical witness for two generations. But a small yet passionate group of Christians believed God for a miracle in their community.

For most of his life, one of missionary Rich McLane’s passions has been hunting. His wife Lori enjoys playing the trumpet. When they became missionary church planters in Poland years ago, who would have guessed these passions would converge to reach more than 120,000 hunters throughout the country?

Dresden's Oasis for Christmas

,

Many refugees from Syria and other countries have come to Germany to seek asylum. The city of Dresden has taken in refugees which has not been a well-liked decision by many of the general population. Feelings of animosity, suspicion and fear are prevalent. The families of the Oasis Church in Dresden invited 40 refugees to enjoy coffee and Christmas cookies and used that opportunity to share with them why we celebrate Christmas. They also explained some of the German traditions. What a beautiful act of God‘s love it was to show these refugees that the Body of Jesus Christ accepts them and welcomes them even though they meet so much rejection elsewhere. It reminds us of the words Jesus said, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me…”
