El Roi: The God Who Sees Women Like Jyothi
Meet Jyothi. She has three young children. Her husband has serious health issues and is unable to work at even the most menial labor. She came to the sewing training center desperate for a way to feed her family and keep them off the street. In a few months, Jyothi will earn a certificate verifying that she is a trained seamstress. This government-recognized certificate will qualify her for a decent job at one of the many tailor shops in her...
Bird Migration
Bird migration is fascinating. Feather and fowl know what time of year to begin their journey. Whether migrating north or south, even though they fly hundreds or thousands of miles, they don’t get lost or sidetracked. (Can you imagine trying to drive from here to New York WITHOUT a map or compass and WITHOUT any major highways or signs?)

For many, it’s been more of a nightmare. Like Hagar, people have treated them as though they had no feelings, to be used and thrown away. For Hagar, she was given, like a piece of jewelry, as a...

These men were well-respected by other pastors in their region. During storms and monsoons, they often distributed food and blankets. They were seeking to be blessings to the non-Christians around them. This is the kind of advice God had given to Jeremiah to communicate to the captives who had been taken from Jerusalem to the city of Babylon. “Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city...
