The Swanepoels » Unravelling Babel

“What’s wrong with you? Our language is easy – see, I speak and it just comes out!”

Acacias and Singing

A rugged attraction is growing and pulling at me here. Every resource from plant, to animal, to person, has to be guarded. We have thorn bushes and we have spikes on our gate. But there is a beauty that lives in this hard land.

My motivation to witness

Will the day come that we send Lucas off to Congo as a short-term missionary? I hope so. But if it does, my heart won’t jump because he’s bound for Africa. It’ll jump because he bound for heaven!

Loss and Lostness are at my door

We cried along with them, partly for their tragic loss and partly for their state of lost-ness. How little hope they have without the knowledge of what Christ has done for them!

“I feel a story coming on….” by jean robinson (guest contributor)

I came fearfully to the border customs and immigration office. I was met by a young customs man who, I could tell by his demeanor, was proud of his authority and determined to give this lady a difficult time.

NATURE-ly SPEAKING » Down By The Waterhole

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.”

Close encounters with animals

Andy Brown

Faber Family Flash #5

I went over to Mercy first, she avoided eye contact with me and so I sat on the bed next to her and gently patted her badly scarred arms and hands. I introduced myself as Aunty Sue and I looked into the eyes of child filled with deep pain. I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing down my face, I just couldn’t help the overwhelming emotions that I felt. I asked her if she could be my friend, I shared with her I was new to Kenya and feeling a bit lonely and I really needed to have a special friend, she smiled back and said yes

Trusting God with the Impossible!

Brian Wagner

God knows we, as a staff, are going to be stretched this term. He is in our midst waiting to help us and give us the strength we need from day to day as we minister to the students He has brought to RVA for this year.

Declare

Andy Brown

These three stories are a small sample of the stories I get to capture every week. Stories of how God redeems people from all walks of life, all nations, all religions, to free them from their sin and bring them into His family.
