What was On the Cross?
Did you ever stop to ponder what was nailed to the cross? You may think the answer is obvious. Like when the pastor visited Sunday school, thinking that he’d start off with a joke to connect with the children: “What’s brown, bushy-tailed and jumps from tree to tree?” After a long silence a brave kid…

Am I Willing to Pay the Cost?
As we enter the Easter week I’ve been thinking of the price that Jesus paid. He gave his life so that I don’t only get to keep mine, but I get an eternal life. Just like that. At no cost of my own. Salvation is free. However, walking with Jesus might cost me. My Savior,…

A Sneak Peek into Family Life
My kids know their mom all too well. I put it down to my good heart and not too bad communication skills. They attribute it to their excellent insight into human behavioral science. In other words, they know how to play their mom. One day I asked my son to help me out, and he…

Finding Joy in Troubled Times
Recently, a friend went home to be with Jesus. His wife described their life together so beautifully: “It’s been a hard and painful journey, but we chose to dance in the rain.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I read it – tears of sorrow because I sensed her grief, but also tears of…

Why is it Important to Share a Testimony?
It’s been 4 years since Adrian was healed and several million people have heard our testimony.

I know you, and there’s nothing special about you guys!” I love that she…

Here’s the full story from CBN’s 700 Club!
Adrian’s testimony is a story of hope where there was none, of a miracle 12 years in the making, and of a loving God who never let go. We have seen several healings when people have received our testimony. If God has healed you as you watched this video, we would love to hear…

The Story that’s Writing Itself
“Wait!” she said as she ran towards us. She told us how God had put a spot light on our son during the meeting and prompted her to pray for him. I hesitated, I didn’t know her and I did not want to expose Adrian to strangers who would approach him for different reasons. She…

Embracing Your Battle
We’ve been down with a cold for a few days. Since last Wednesday most family members have taken turns in bed with high fever, bad cough and general misery. We encourage each other and have creative competitions to pass time, such as How long will it take to heat up a freezing cold room with…
