My wife and I served as missionaries in Mali, West Africa, for 29 years, and in Mali itself from 1957 to 1983. With the Islamist terrorists in the north and central Mali as well as Burkina Faso and Sudan, almost all missionaries have been removed from Mali, while the Malian church continues strongly on its own.

You ask…”Was Jesus the Lord” of his life? Do you know what Lord means?…Lord typically means…most notably… referring to God, as well as respect for master and owner. It signifies Jesus divinity and lordship over all Creation…a title of respect for master and owner…it signifies authority, power, and sovereignty and is used to denote a superior ruler…,,I am a Christian, but at times, I rebel, get depressed, worry..,,but God does not leave me as I am His child. Romans 8:38-39.  “ For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present, nor the future, nor any powers, neither heigh nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is on Christ Jesus our Lord.” Douglas, 7/31

At the core of the Gospel is what Jesus told Nicodemus, “You MUST be born again.” Not confirmed, not baptized, not a church goer, not a past attender of Sunday School.  The only thing that matters now for Ozzy is, was he born again? Was he in love with Jesus? Was Jesus the Lord of his life? Was his name in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Isn’t it sad that eternity alone will tell? We should all live in such a way that people don’t wonder where we are when we pass into eternity. They should know that we are in love with Jesus and our lives showed it. Jesus did say that we’ll know them by their fruit. Jesus is the light and all who love Him come to the light, not glory in darkness. Kathy, 7/25

This is wonderful!! Zev Porat of Jerusalem, a messianic evangelist says, “The veil is being removed, thousands of Jewish people are coming to Jesus like never before!” He goes to Bnai Brek and other places in Israel where it is forbidden to preach the Gospel, where there are signs warning people that if they do so they may never leave alive. Many have wound up in hospital for their efforts. But Zev was training to become a rabbi in that very town, and goes forth in the power of the Holy Spirit. He has led many from that place to Christ. He goes all over Israel and preaches. He said the same thing: the veil that hid Christ from their eyes is being removed. L.W., 7/25
