Now serving on the Riverboat in France, David can see how God has been putting the puzzle pieces together over the years.

J. Thomas was a Welsh missionary with a burden for the kingdom of Korea in the middle of the nineteenth century. He bought a berth on a ship that was going to steam up the Taedong River and he took as many Chinese Scriptures with him as he could carry. When they reached Pyongyang, they were not welcomed.

Many short-term outreach teams came to Moldova and shared God in word and action. Sara told them about a dream she had had where Jesus had asked to come to her house.

“A miracle happened! My husband heard God’s voice,” exclaimed Syrian Muslim Sana* when she phoned Janine* from OM. The following Thursday Janine and a friend met Sana so she could tell them the full story.

Sports coach Dickens grew up in a slum on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya. As his home life turned sour, he decided the streets were a better option for him. His environment turned him from being a soft-spoken boy, to a common thug and eventually to a deadly criminal.

Michael had been gambling with work’s money for nearly two years, and the public university where he was employed caught on. In jail he closed his eyes, picked up the Bible, and pointed to a verse.

Jesus is mentioned in the Qur’an, but is only considered a prophet by Muslims, inferior in status to the prophet Muhammad. Fuad didn’t know much about Isa al-Masih (Jesus the Messiah). He prayed, “If this is you, Jesus, then show me your miracles.”

Noi was a practicing Buddhist and animist, like many Shan people in Northern Thailand. She did not know this God that her daughter spoke of and could not take any chances of upsetting her idols.

Even a child in the Himalayas can be an evangelist, declaring God’s love and forgiveness to others.
