The Miracle of a Seedling

Written by Noah Stone, a PI Canada Worker Sometimes it seems that God is not working. We evangelize faithfully. We pray fervently. Despite this, we see no fruit.

A Reflection from a Mother on the Field

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. (Psalm 91:4) While pregnant with my first child, I read an article that explained that during pregnancy and the first few years of motherhood there is a heightened sense of alertness that occurs …

Neighborhood Walk During Quarantine

During my quarantine in Central Asia, everyday I would go on a walk, just to get out of the house, and almost every time I’d see the same man sitting outside. I first met this man the previous winter when I walked by and dropped my hat. I actually didn’t realize I lost it until …

The Stranger at My Door – A Surprising Answer to Prayer

By Andy, Canada “Excuse me!”The hint of urgency in the voice, as much as the words, prompted me to look up from my computer. The man standing in the doorway was likely about 40 years old. He had black hair and dark eyes; his skin tone and features were typical of someone from the Middle …

A Trip to the Dentist

Written by a PI Worker To be honest, I was frustrated. Like many people around the world, I confess that I am terrified of... the dentist. Nonetheless, I needed to go and so we searched for a dentist open during these days (covid19) and finally found one a bit far from where we live. After …

A Long Metamorphosis

Written by a PI Worker “Why does it take so long for humans to grow up?” asked one of my kids after we had been observing squirrels in the trees near our apartment. The baby squirrels were running up and down the tree even just a few months after birth, leaping bravely from branch to …

Divine Appointment during COVID-19

Yesterday was a Matthew 10:29-30 kind of day. It's that passage that speaks of the Lord knowing when a sparrow falls to the ground and how many hairs we have on our head. Our Heavenly Father (yet again) showed me He hears our  prayers.  Even without a step counter, He was able to arrange not …
