This week, we look back on some of the most moving moments shared on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio in 2024: Aaron Miller, VOM's Vice President of International Ministry, gives a glimpse of his time with an African ministry partner and an African word that describes how VOM serves persecuted Christians. Paul Dangtoumba, leader for YWAM's work in Nigeria, shares his own story of persecution even before he was born and scars he bears today. An expert in trauma care, Brother Philip serves as a field minister in Africa, helping VOM respond to the spiritual and emotional needs of persecuted Christians. Jeff Woodke served as a gospel and humanitarian worker in Niger until terrorists took him hostage. Jeff and his wife, Els, share their experiences during Jeff's six and a half years in captivity. On a visit to China, Brother Kevin and his family were told of the Hui people who had never heard of the gospel. God called them to go to the Hui, but as the Chinese government imposed more restrictions, their missionary work in China was forcibly ended. Luke and Kate served as medical gospel workers in Myanmar but were also forced to leave. They continue, from a distance, to see God bringing forth fruit. Hearing the gospel on a TV program, Brother Job came to faith. He was boldly sharing the good news via social media when he was kidnapped and threatened by terrorists. As a child, Pastor Nouh Yattara in Mali was drawn to the gospel by a simple gift of a ballpoint pen. He heard the gospel and decades later he still shares the hope he found as a child.

Thanks to insurance, we don't very often have bank, savings and loans, or credit union “runs” anymore. Aaron Caid is with us today to discuss how that came about.Aaron Caid is the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Role of FDIC in Banking StabilityWhen we think about bank runs, we often think of the Great Depression. Thankfully, such events are rare today, primarily due to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) 's creation through the Banking Act of 1933. The FDIC now insures bank deposits up to $250,000 per customer, providing peace of mind for depositors across the United States.But what about other financial institutions like savings and loans (also known as thrifts) and credit unions? Most of these institutions are also insured by the FDIC, while many credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), established in 1970. Like the FDIC, the NCUA insures deposits up to $250,000 per customer (or tax ID).Private Deposit Insurance: A Closer LookInterestingly, some credit unions opt for private insurance rather than federal insurance. Christian Community Credit Union is insured by American Share Insurance (ASI), a private insurer celebrating its 50th anniversary. ASI covers deposits up to $250,000 per account, offering a unique advantage over federal insurance, which insures per tax ID.No holder of an ASI-insured account has ever lost a dime, a testament to its reliability. One of the main reasons CCCU members chose private insurance is the flexibility it provides, particularly in lending to churches and ministries—an essential aspect of CCCU's mission. Additionally, ASI requires its member credit unions to maintain a 30% higher deposit ratio, ensuring greater resources and liquidity during challenging times.For those who might be hesitant about private deposit insurance, consider the fact that your home is likely insured by a private company, not the federal government. Private insurance companies have been around much longer than federal insurance corporations, with the first private insurers dating back to 1732.Why Choose Christian Community Credit Union?There are several compelling reasons to consider banking with CCCU:Conservative Biblical Stewardship: CCCU practices conservative financial management, aligning with biblical principles. The credit union carries zero debt, unlike many banks and credit unions that leverage their balance sheets to inflate returns.Strong Financial Stability: CCCU's capitalization ratio is more than 80% higher than what the NCUA considers “well-capitalized,” and its net worth ratio places it in the top 10% of all credit unions. CCCU has been recognized as a “top 100” credit union nationwide for safety, stability, and growth by S&P Global.Christian Values and Giving: CCCU is unapologetically Christian and a member-owned not-for-profit. Profits are returned to members through better rates and lower fees, and the credit union actively supports Christian ministries, including Mission Aviation Fellowship and International Ministries.Top-Notch Financial Products: CCCU offers competitive financial products, such as high-yield checking and savings accounts, CDs, and the Cash Rewards Visa, which contributes to Christian charities with every swipe.For those interested in learning more about Christian Community Credit Union, Aaron encourages you to visit JoinChristianCommunity.com. Discover how you can benefit from a credit union that prioritizes safety, stability, and a commitment to Christian values.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are past full retirement age and haven't filed Social Security claims yet. We've been married 43 years, are in good health, and have no dependents or government pensions. My husband is still working and plans to file at 70. If I start Social Security now, I will receive $1,369 monthly, increasing slightly at 69 and 70. We're considering starting my benefits now for two years and then switching to a spousal benefit. What do you think?I used to sell tax shelter annuities and have experience, but occasionally, I hear financial guys knocking them, saying they are not a good investment. However, I think annuities are some of the best. What are your thoughts on annuities?I am turning 65 this January. I have been working full-time at the same job for 26 years, but I am still determining when I'll retire. My question is, do I need to sign up for Medicare within three months of my 60th birthday to avoid a lifetime late enrollment penalty? Or do I wait until I'm retired? I need clarification on the process.I used to work at a hospital and have a 401(k) there, but I've been unemployed for about 90 days. So I could use maybe $1,000 or $2,000 of those dollars. They told me that if I cash out the 401(k), I'll pay 35 or 40% in taxes. If I roll it over to another IRA, I will only pay taxes on what I borrow. Is that true? What's the best thing for me to do?Resources Mentioned:Christian Community Credit UnionRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

ow to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast.  If you would like to help support my mission to multiply disciples, leaders and churches, click here:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner I'm Rob Skinner and this is the Rob Skinner Podcast.  Today I'm talking about how to become a multiplying disciple.  Specifically, how you need to multiply your talents in order to multiply disciples and your impact in your spiritual, financial and personal life. Reach Rob at Rob@RobSkinner.Com   Transcript Multiply Your Talents to Become a Multiplying Disciple “Skinner, you're a jack of all trades and a master of none.”  My friend, Chris Bishop, gave me a rough evaluation that later proved to be right on target.  He was describing my interest in so many different areas and at the same time, I wasn't great at any one thing.  In the fall I had tried soccer and dropped out.  In the winter, I got cut from the freshman basketball team.  I placed my hopes in making the spring freshman baseball team.  If there was one sport I thought I was good at, I thought baseball would be the one.  I bought brand new Adidas cleats.  I tried my best at the tryout.  Jeff Martinez laughed at me after the sprints and said, “Skinner, how'd you get so slow?”  The coach told us that our names would be posted on the coaches' office window if we made the team.  I waited all day, sitting in classes visualizing the name, “Rob Skinner” on that roster.  When the final bell rang, I ran to the gym locker room where the coaches' office was.  I looked down the list of names.  I thought I must be reading it to quickly.  I read each name again, slowly.  ·         Todd Newman ·         Shawn Huff ·         Jeff Martinez ·         Chris Bishop… All my friends were listed, my name wasn't.  I looked one more time and raced to my Mom's office in room E-5 of the English department.  She was an English teacher and department head.  She said, “What's wrong?”  I said, “I didn't make the team!”  I kneeled down and sobbed and sobbed on her lap.  On top of the humiliation of getting cut, someone stole my new cleats.  I guess I wouldn't need them anyway. I've never been great at any one sport.  I've been passable at a large number of sports and activities.  I love to surf, scuba, play frisbee and ultimate.  I've run a marathon in Tokyo.  I love to backpack.  I enjoy clubs and activities and served as the president of the International club and Senior Class President in high school.  I like to write and was the editor of my high school newspaper.  I always thought this lack of focused greatness was a weakness until I became a disciple of Jesus.  Then I realized the gift I had been given.  God's Kingdom is filled with every type of person.  Every race, age, class, language, height, gender, interest, skill and occupation is represented in his church.  When I became a true disciple and joined the fellowship of believers I felt like a fish back in water.  I was able to connect with so many people.  My varied background allowed me to make connections with people from all over the world. Scott Adams talks about the importance of developing a broad array of talents in his book, “How to fail at almost everything and still win big.”  He calls it “Talent Stacking.”  He writes that it's much better and more achievable to be in the top 25% in two or three or more skill or talent areas than it is to become the top 1% in any one field.  He himself was a cartoonist with a background in computers and added writing, public speaking and hypnotism to his talent stack.  The uniqueness of his talent stack makes him a unique and wealthy individual.  He claims that for every person genetically gifted to master a particular field like LeBron James, there are thousands who can combine reasonably good skills from a variety of fields and excel. Paul talks about this very thing in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, “ Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.”  Although Paul was a hardcore Jewish Pharisee by birth and training, he realized the necessity of adaptability if he was going to reach the people God had called him to reach in Acts 9:15-16, “But the Lord said to Ananias, ‘Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.'”  Gentiles, kings and Jews were all part of God's purpose for Paul.  Paul, who had surpassed all his peers in devotion to his Old Testament training, realized that he would have to add to his skills if he was going to be able to connect with the many who didn't share his gifts, pedigree or background.  If you want to be a multiplying disciple, build your “talent stack.”  The people God wants you to reach very likely will be different than you.  It's also important to keep expanding your skills because our economy and world is changing so quickly.  If you want to be able to support yourself while reaching the lost, you will need to stay in a permanent state of learning new skills.  What kind of skills do you need to develop?  Here are a few: Spiritual Skills 1.        Knowledge of the Bible.  Read the entire Bible. 2.       Ability to teach someone else the gospel.  Know how to guide a seeker from initial interest to salvation. 3.       Prayer.  Ability to sit quietly and pray and meditate for thirty minutes straight 4.      Fellowship.  Ability to make new friends, set up Bible studies, encourage others and connect with people unlike yourself. 5.       Speaking.  Learn how to lead a small group discussion, speak in front of a church audience, teach a Bible class and preach a short lesson using scripture, stories and applications. Life Skills 1.        Money.  Learn how to save and invest money.  Refuse to live paycheck to paycheck. 2.       Computer skills.  Keep learning new skills.  Never make the excuse that you're too old or no good at technical stuff.  Memorize this scripture in Philippians 4:13 (Jerusalem Bible),  “There is nothing I cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength.” 3.       Entrepreneurship.  Learn how to start a new business or side hustle.  It can be real estate, window washing, dog walking or options.  Keep looking for ways to be a “tent maker” like Paul was.  He always had a way to support himself when church support dried up. 4.      People skills.  This is what I would consider to be the most important skill that often gets overlooked.  Read the book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”  Your way with people makes all the difference in your success or failure as a fruitful and effective disciple. This unique gift of having a number of good, not great skills came in handy when I moved to Tokyo, Japan.  I was asked to develop an International Ministry.  This was anyone in Japan who wasn't native Japanese.  We started with a handful of “Gai-Jin” or foreigners and in a few years we had over 200 disciples from all over the world, Africa, Polynesia, Australia, England, The US, Canada, South America, China, Korea, Asia and Continental Europe.  I think my interest in a broad array of people, things and interests, enabled God to use me to reach people from all over. If you are a “unicorn,” a person gifted with a singular gift like Mozart or Einstein, congratulations and may God continue to bless you.  If you are like the rest of us, having moderate or average gifting, take heart.  You can live an amazing life.  Cobble together your best skills and learn new ones to add to your collection.  This set of talents unique to you only will set you apart and define you as fruitful and multiplying disciple. Application ·         What one new skill, if you learned it in the next six months, would make the biggest difference in your life?  ·         Take a first step toward learning that skill.  Read a book, watch a YouTube video or go to a seminar to learn how to do it.  ·         What are your top three best skills currently?  How can God use that “cocktail” of talents to build his kingdom?

In this episode of the Essentially Translatable Podcast, Rich Rudowske engages in discussion with Rev. Dr. Douglas Rutt on the importance of cultural and contextual nuances when communicating the Gospel. Dr. Rutt has an impressive 40-year career serving in ministry. Most notably he has served as missionary to Guatemala, Director for International Ministries at Lutheran Hour Ministries, and Provost for Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. The conversation delves into two concepts: syncretism—the tendency to mix non-Christian beliefs with Christian ideals, and contextualization—communicating God's Word in ways that resonate with a culturally diverse audience while maintaining the purity of the Gospel message. These topics are informed by Dr. Rutt's extensive experience in international ministry, as well as his recent article, “Translation and Syncretism”, published in Concordia Journal in spring of 2023. This article explores the complexities of Bible translation, the significance of Scripture being available in one's Mother-tongue, and the critical role of exegesis in both understanding the Word and the world. Tune into learn how Dr. Rutt's transition from commercial pilot to seminary student led to a life-changing experience as a missionary to Guatemala and his continued service in God's kingdom. Read “Translation and Syncretism” here. Highlights Dr. Rutt and Rich discuss the recently published article “Translation and Syncretism” Dr. Rutt is a former missionary to Guatemala with 40 years of experience in ministry Two key terms: syncretism and contextualism, are discussed in relation to Bible translation.

Hello and welcome to Family Shield Ministries. We are on mission to help families walk together and with each other, and of course to walk with God. I'm Pastor Mark Femmel, part of the Family Shield Ministries crew, and I am blessed to share the microphone, usually blessed by Kay Meyer. Today we have once again, a special guest David Brickner, who is the Executive Director of a pretty wonderful ministry, especially if you were listening last time, of all the wonderful doors that God is opening through the Old Testament. Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, which is an International Ministry out of San Francisco. So this episode is a promise kept, last time we were with David Brickner, and he and I were talking about all the overlap, all the distinctions, and also just how to share the Faith with your Jewish neighbor, doctor, lawyer, cousin, friend, teacher, student, and it was a great conversation in my opinion. We talked about the cultural uniqueness and layers and history of Judaism. We also talked about what that word in your New Testament, Christ, and that Old Testament word, Messiah, what that actually means.

“I've been with you, and I have to leave now, but as I go I am still with you.” Aaron Miller, Vice President of International Ministry at The Voice of the Martyrs, learned this concept from brothers and sisters in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). They have a word for the concept in their language: tukopamuja. As Aaron and his team sit with persecuted Christians across the world, the stories they hear and prayers they pray together stay with them forever. As 2024 begins, we pray that the stories of Christian persecution—and the faithfulness of Christ's followers who endure it—will stay with you as you pray for the persecuted church. Changes in the status of Christians and the level of persecution in various nations are reflected in VOM's 2024 Prayer Guide, and Aaron will bring those to light as he shares stories from his own travel and how his staff continue to serve persecuted Christians despite increased challenges. Malawi and Mauritania, two countries in Africa have been added as daily persecution is a reality. One for Mauritania includes several men imprisoned for a baptism video released on social media. In India, prime minister Modi has diminished government protection for Christianity and increasing violent acts against Christians have made this region now restricted. Learn from Aaron how you can pray for VOM's International Ministry team and for Christians in restricted and hostile nations this year. UPDATE: After the recording of this interview we learned the Christians arrested in Mauritania had been released. We thank God for this answer to prayer! Please continue to pray for their protection and their peace.

We had the privilege of joining nearly 60 Immanuel Approach Prayer ministers last week ministering to over 450 InterVarsity Staff members at their conference in Orlando. While there, we were interviewed in front of our peers by Nate Harkness, a fellow Immanuel Prayer minister who is the Director of International Ministries at World Discipleship Association in Fayetteville, GA. As hosts of this show, you get to hear bits and pieces from us as we interview others, but it's not often we share our hearts to the extent we do in this episode. In this conversation, you will learn some of the things we're passionate about.  For more about us, the Immanuel Approach, and how we are raising up people to help others connect with Jesus, please join us Jan 22-26, 2024 for the Connect Others with Jesus Challenge Sign up up at immanueltraining.com/Challenge.

Islamist jihadists are moving southward across the continent of Africa. Their goal: the eradication Christianity. In the Central African Republic (CAR) and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a new addition to VOM's 2023 Global Prayer map, persecuted Christians have been deeply affected. Believers have been forced to flee their villages. Pastors have been killed. Many Christians have lost family members in violent attacks. Aaron Miller, Vice President of International Ministry for The Voice of the Martyrs, recently visited traumatized believers in multiple African nations. Aaron was stunned as he witnessed Christians worshipping and praising God after returning to the same village where they'd faced intense persecution for their faith. Psalm 138 resonated in Aaron's heart throughout his trip: “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you revive me. You saved me from my enemies.” God sent Aaron and the team from VOM into the midst of trouble to minister and encourage our persecuted brothers and sisters on behalf of the global body of Christ. Listen as Aaron tells of meeting one woman who couldn't continue telling the story of losing her husband; she simply buried her face in her hands and wept. Being able to listen, minister, pray, laugh, and cry with believers in the midst of their trouble is a powerful encouragement to them. Aaron talks about “the ministry of presence” as VOM workers go to fellowship and serve. God has uniquely prepared Aaron for this role, including giving him a small personal taste of Christian persecution in India. Pray for our brothers and sisters to be encouraged in their faith and for the church to be unified in Central Africa. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio! Subscribe to the podcast.

We decided to talk about what is happening right now in Kenya with the “starvation cult.” It's a sad one. As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff. Hosted by Trevor Poelman and Damien Doepping Brought to you By: The Sonar Network https://thesonarnetwork.com/

When terrorists invaded the church service and pointed guns at his head, the pastor could have said many things to his congregation. Led by the Holy Spirit, he told them simply, “Be at peace. Soon we will be with Jesus.” Instead of committing murder, the attackers put their guns down and left the church, leaving the pastor and his flock alive and well. This true story, from persecuted Christians on the Arabian Peninsula, is just one of those you'll hear this week from Jonathan Ekman, VOM's Vice President of International Ministry. Join the conversation as Jonathan looks back on VOM's work in 2022 and looks ahead to challenges and opportunities for persecuted church ministry in 2023. Listen as Jonathan discusses regions where persecution is changing, and what the next year may look like for Christians in restricted and hostile nations. He'll also suggest some less-well-known countries, such as Northern Mozambique, Malaysia and Brunei, where persecuted Christians need your prayer. Are there nations where VOM's work is likely to change in 2023? Jonathan will talk about the spread of radical Islam across Africa, and what it means for churches and Christian leaders in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Central African Republic and other African nations. He'll also look at some of the many unknowns faced this year, including intensified Christian persecution in China and upcoming elections in Nigeria and India. Your prayer list will grow as you consider the persecution being faced by Christians around the globe. One way you can pray more knowledgeably for persecuted Christians in the new year is to request a complimentary copy of VOM's 2023 Global Prayer Guide. For an in-depth discussion of Christian persecution and current events in China, listen to this recent VOM Radio conversation with Dr. Bob Fu. Never miss an episode of VOM Radio!
