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.

Dan and Joy West have had a rich missionary career, yet at a time in their career when they might be tempted to stay in their comfort zone, Dan and Joy are starting over.

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.

On the Hunt: Embracing—and Breaking—Tradition ...

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?

Rouse House Makes a New Commitment in Germany

"People always ask us ‘how long have you been saved?’ The embarrassingthing is we never really had an answer. Why? Because we both couldn’t ever think of a time in our lives when we didn’t believe in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We prayed daily but nothing was different about us to anyone or even to one another. We were simply ‘Sunday Christians’ for many years, never truly submitted to God to be rid of ourselves in order to belong to Him completely. We were the ‘Christians’ who did not hunger for the Truth and therefore never really read our Bible, if at all. How could we say we were Christians for years on end and never really know what God’s Word says?…it has ALL the answers…what idiots we were!

There were some years when we thought things were great, but we look back now and know we weren’t ever committed or different from the crowd we hung around with regularly. In fact we haven't had any ‘church friends’ for at least the last 13 years. Our lifestyle in front of our children was ‘do as I say, not as I do’ and even took them to church regularly, to only bring confusion on what it means to truly live for Jesus.

Anna_Rouse.jpgHowever, today is a new day. Today we were both baptized of our own accord, not because some religion said we had to and not because another said it is the next step in our walk with God, but because we both have both decided (individually and together) to die to ourselves and be fully alive in Christ. The old has passed, all things are new, we are a new creation and THIS day the Rouse House confesses and chooses we will serve the Lord….raising/training our children and generations to come in the way they should go as well. We are both still in awe of how God has changed us both from the inside out in the last two years…it has been rough adjustment some days because God deals with us daily reminding us where we no longer want to be and yet, at the same time, it has been the best two years of our lives.”
