Day 1 - 2. Testimonies and preparation for the CMFI 50th anniversary || 198 || WUPF|| 21 days || 11th June - 2nd July 2025 by CMFIONLINE
Today's witnesses are from Matthew West's website, called popwe.org. If you don't know who Matthew West is, he is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller. This website is for the non-profit that he has with his father, a pastor. Matthew and his father encourage people to share their stories. They have various categories of stories. Today, I chose three testimonies from the God Stories Category. Often, we can hear our own story in someone else's story. When we listen to others tell their story, it helps us see that we are not alone. Hearing how God worked in their situation gives us hope that He will work in ours, too! I pray that when you hear this testimony, you get the faith and hope to believe that miracles can happen in your situation, too. I pray you know that God is there with you, and if you invite Him into your situation, He can help. I hope you enjoy these testimonies.First is Diane: I run a Christian camp for people who have developmental and physical disabilities, or as I like to say, “diversabilities.” Because isn't that who we all are? We experienced great tragedy in September of 2020 when we lost many of our physical buildings, including our activity spaces, bunkhouses, and gymnasium, in a fire. Many of which had been built in the 1940s.Our campers were devastated. Many have been coming to camp for over 40 years, but without indoor facilities and bunkhouses to serve and host our campers, the future looked bleak. That said, we dutifully signed up for FEMA support to rebuild and began the process of determining eligibility in early 2021.After much prayer and consideration, we made a commitment to continue serving campers someway, somehow. And we were overwhelmed by the blessing of grants, private donations and many volunteers. We cleared our 18-acre property of fire debris, established and activity meadow, purchased 18 beautiful bell tents and opened our gates to 10 campers a week for 6 weeks. We had only a few doors left after the fires and that first year, all activities and meals were outside. Before the fires and COVID we were serving 25 campers a week, but we promised we would do what we could, and God provided everything we needed!Fast forward 4 ½ years and here we are, still providing camp with temporary facilities. We continue to work with FEMA and have only just begun to receive money to begin the process of rebuilding.We were gifted a master plan through the assistance of the Christian Camp and Conference Association (CCCA) in 2021, and now we are working with an incredible architecture and design firm of which 90% is being paid for through FEMA funds. For us 10% is a significant funding gap, but we trust our Father in heaven to pave a way for us to continue moving forward with rebuilding. If all goes well, we anticipate breaking ground on our new buildings later this year.And finally, to the reason for this long explanation. Our campers love those VBS songs you mention in some of your devos, and I like to re-introduce a few of them every year, so when I read your post this morning, I knew it was time to bring this old chestnut back to our campfire songs, “This little light of mine.” As we rebuild Upward Bound Camp we stand on the firm foundation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, sharing and rejoicing in His love for all of us!Second is Heather: My story is about meeting my husband at the warehouse we where we worked, marrying him and then losing him to cancer after twelve life changing years of marriage and seven kids later.He came to me one day asking, “is this a pimple?” I said,” No love, you should get that checked.” He wasted no time, and the test came back as Melanoma. Within a year of that diagnosis, he went to be with Jesus.He fought really hard and had a heart of gold the whole way through. He said these words to me towards the end” I am at peace with this.”Those words will stay in my heart always. He loved Jesus so much and trusted him. I believed before I met Doug, but I honestly believe that he was put on this earth to prepare me and the kids spiritually for what was ahead. For things we did not know were going to happen.He served God in many ways, but if not for him I believe our lives would have taken a much different path. With him rooting me in the Catholic faith and me coming to truly believe it, allowed me to have the strength to carry on and keep the kids rooted in their faith.He was an amazing man. I thank you God for blessing us with him if even for a short time. We love you Daddy/ Douglas.Third is Roy: Last night, my family and I were at your concert here in Lincoln. What a beautiful evening of worship! Seeing my family laugh, sing, and worship together was a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and goodness.Matthew, we met about 15 years ago at a Parenting Simulcast. I was the parenting manager running point that day. It was such a joy to work with you during that event, and I still treasure the memories of that experience.I'm reaching out to tell you how deeply your song, The God Who Stays, has impacted my life. It became an Ebenezer for me during one of the most broken seasons I've ever experienced.In 2014, I left that organization due to downsizing and took over a struggling Bible and youth camp in New England. After six difficult years of ministry, the camp had to close during COVID, and the board dissolved it. I was devastated.It felt like I had failed everyone—including God. After closing the doors and letting the staff go, my wife took our kids away for a weekend and told me, “You need to do business with God.”I went to a place we called “One Tree Hill,” a beautiful hillside at the base of Mount Monadnock, and I listened to The God Who Stays on repeat. I cried like I've never cried before. It was there, in my brokenness, that I encountered Christ in such a profound way.I felt His warmth and embrace, even in the midst of my pain and failure. I was ready to give up leadership entirely, but in that moment, Christ whispered to me: I am not done with you yet. I have been preparing you for what's next.Within 48 hours of that encounter, I connected with the ministry I serve today. This January, I will celebrate four years stewarding this organization, which serves vulnerable families through foster care, family preservation, and ministry to families impacted by incarceration.These last four years have brought so much healing and restoration. Not only in my ministry but in my marriage and family. My wife and kids (25, 21, and 17) have endured so much over the past 15 years, through four major moves and countless challenges. But God has been faithful. To sit together last night in worship reminded me how far He has carried us. Thank you, Matthew, for allowing God to use your music to minister to so many, including me. The God Who Stays will forever be a reminder of His steadfast love and presence in my life.Thank you all so much for being brave enough to share your stories. I know these stories are going to touch the lives of so many people. www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Episode SummaryIn the final episode of the Mind War series on the Satisfied program, Ryan Swanson tackles a difficult but crucial topic: desire. Is the struggle in our thought life something we must simply manage forever, or does God offer more? With biblical clarity and pastoral empathy, Ryan shares the hope that victory isn't just about saying “no”—it's about saying “yes” to Jesus, and discovering the peace of a transformed mind.Topics DiscussedThe distinction between temptation and desireCan God change your desires?Testimonies of men battling addiction and cravingIsaiah 26:3 and the key to perfect peaceReframing the battle: it's not a yes/no choice, it's a multiple choiceDesire, availability, and isolation in thought life strugglesWhy saying “yes” to Christ is the only path to victoryWhat David teaches us about longing in Psalm 63Encouragement to fight the battle, but aim for peaceKey TakeawaysThe goal of spiritual warfare isn't just a good fight—it's peace.Saying “no” to sin is not enough; victory comes by saying “yes” to Christ.God may want to do more than help you resist sin—He may want to change what you desire.Perfect peace is possible, not when you try harder, but when your mind is stayed on Christ.Your journey is not just about fighting gratification but about learning to be satisfied in Jesus.Ready to download the Cord App?

“In days to come, when your son asks you, ‘What does this mean?' say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. . . .'” — Exodus 13:14 My father-in-law tells a story about his grandfather returning from Norway with a fresh salmon wrapped in newspaper under his shirt, just to bring a taste of home back to the United States. The act and the retelling of the act have power. Stories shape family identity, weaving together memories and values. At Roseland Christian Ministries, testimony plays a crucial role in worship. It recounts stories of God's grace, provision, and faithfulness. In testimony, the church bears witness to God's ongoing work in our lives. Testimonies are powerful because they highlight personal transformation and remind the community that God is always faithful. In the Old Testament, storytelling was central for nurturing the faith of God's people. God often described himself in terms of liberating actions: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (Exodus 2:2). And the people retold this story while celebrating Passover each year to remember God's deliverance. The regular retelling shaped them as a people. What are the stories in your family or community that remind you of who you are? What stories of God's faithfulness need to be retold to help reinforce your identity as a person of faith in Christ? Lord, help us in retelling the stories of your faithfulness. May our shared memories of your grace and love inspire and strengthen us, deepening our trust in you. Amen.

Things that Generate Testimonies Part 3 by David Antwi
You Are Loved By JesusJohn 13:23 “One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved,* was reclining at Jesus' side.”This scripture verse was given at my prayer group, and the following words of prophecy were given: “You are also the one whom Jesus loves. So, your place is to be listening to his heartbeat when you pray. So, put your head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. Say I love you and be at peace.” Is there anything more calming than putting your head on someone's chest and listening to their heartbeat? I pictured when I was little and if I was scared and I went to lie with my parents. Just putting my head on their chest and listening to their heartbeat would make me feel better. It seemed so rhythmic and soothing.“You are also the one whom Jesus loves.” How many of you believe this? Like truly in the depths of your heart believe this? You are also the one whom Jesus loves. Sometimes, it is easy to say that Jesus is love. It is easy to say that Jesus loves everyone. And yet, even as we are saying it, we are discounting ourselves from that love. We know He loves everyone and yet we don't believe that he loves us? We don't feel that love or even understand why He would love us. Who are we to be loved by Jesus?You are the son or daughter of the one true king. That is who you are. You were made in the likeness and image of God. You are deeply loved by Him. Why do you discount yourself from that love? Or maybe you put a lot of pressure on yourself to be worthy enough of God's love. Maybe you think if you just do things perfectly, then God will love you. If you attend weekly mass and volunteer for every fundraiser, you will be worthy of God's love. Are you constantly feeling like you are not good enough for God's love?Guess what? None of us are. None of us are worthy of God's love, yet he lavishes it freely anyway. You do not have to do anything to earn God's love. Well, as I wrote that, what came to mind was we do have to accept it. God can tell us all day long that he loves us, but if we don't accept it, then it doesn't matter. Yesterday, I talked about abiding in God's love and how abiding means acceptance. Can you accept God's love? Can you accept that he loves you just as you are, with no strings attached?This is a new kind of love for so many. Some people have never had someone in their lives who loved them completely, with no strings attached. Unconditional love is not a thing they even new. If you are struggling to believe that Jesus loves you, just as you are, think about your childhood and your past relationships. What do you think of when you think about love? Did you have to earn love growing up? What did you feel you had to do to be loved? For instance, did you have to get good grades, be a certain weight, be quieter, etc? Did you feel like your parents' love was conditional on your behavior? If so, don't worry. You are not alone. We live in a broken world and don't know how to love each other unconditionally like our heavenly father does. I think everyone is doing the best they can. We can only love others to the extent that we are loved. If your parents do not know unconditional love, they can't pass it on to you. The good news is, that you can learn to let Jesus's love in. The good news is that Jesus does love us unconditionally. If we can learn to accept Jesus's love, then we can learn to pass this love on to others, even if that is not the love we were raised with.If you struggle with accepting God's love, I would love to give you some practical tips for how to begin to accept God's love. I went online to see if others had already written about his subject. I found an article written by Kara J. Lovett called “5 Keys to Accepting God's Love.” I would highly suggest you read this article. I will put a link for it in the description of this episode, but you can easily find it by googling 5 Keys to Accepting God's Love. https://karajlovett.com/5-keys-to-accepting-gods-love/ In the article she goes into what God says about love and then a section on understanding God's love. Her article mentions five was you can accept God's love. They are as follows: Accepting God's love with scripture, prayer, grace, and quietness & in unexpected places. Kara says in her article that “by digging deep into Scripture and spending time with God in prayer, I realized that I need to stop striving for love and instead strive to accept God's love, which He has already graciously bestowed on me.” As I mentioned yesterday, reading the bible is a great way to get to know God's love. You can see all sorts of examples of God's love in the bible. 1 John 4:7-10 is a great example of love. It says, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God because God is love. In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”The second way she mentions is prayer. When we turn to God and ask for His help, he wants to help us and is just waiting for us to ask. God knows what we are going through and what are struggles are, and yet he loves it when we talk to Him about them. Just sit down with a cup of coffee or tea and talk to God like you are talking to your best friend at the kitchen table. You will be surprised how much closer you get to God when you start having chats with Him regularly. They can be informal chats about your day, your struggles, and your successes. God wants to share in all of that with you.The third way she mentions is Grace. Learning about grace over these last few years has been huge for me. Learning to be graceful with yourself is so important. Kara says that grace is the free, unearned gift of salvation that God has bestowed upon us. When I looked up the definition online, it said 1a: unmerited divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification. b: a virtue coming from God. c: a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine assistance. We are saved and redeemed through God's grace. It is unmerited, meaning we don't deserve it; we can't do anything to earn it; it is just bestowed upon us. How amazing is that? The third definition is a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine assistance. We can't forget this. We are made holy through divine assistance. God is always there to help us. We can't do any of this on our own. It is always a partnership. God has so much grace and mercy for us. He doesn't expect us to be perfect, so cut yourself some slack.The fourth way to accept God's love is through quietness. Spend some quiet time with God. There are so many ways that you can do this. Maybe you are someone who likes to meditate every morning. That is wonderful! Maybe you are like me, and every time you try to quiet your mind, all it wants to do is talk to you. That's fine, too. Maybe your quiet time is spent in nature, going for a walk, or sitting outside listening to the sounds of nature. Maybe your quiet time with God is spent journaling all your thoughts. There is no right way to spend quiet time with God. Your relationship with God is like any other relationship; the more time you spend together, the closer you will be. The fifth key to accepting God's love for Kara was letting go of control. Even though we know at some level that we don't have to earn God's love, we still try to prove to Him that we love Him. We put all these rules and regulations on ourselves about how we have to do this, and we have to do that. We tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves. Once Kara was able to let go of control and remember that Jesus already secured our freedom on the cross, she decided to let go of all the pressure she put on herself and just tried to abide in Jesus's love. God loves you! He truly does. I hope that if you are not currently able to accept God's love, you will spend some time working on learning how to. I can't tell you how amazing it is to know that I am always loved. To know that there is nothing I can do that would make my heavenly father stop loving me. It gives me so much more confidence in life. It brings me so much joy. It breaks my heart when I talk with people who don't know how much God loves them. I know it is hard to let love in sometimes. I have been there before. It can be hard, it can take a lot of work, and it is so worth it. There is so much more waiting for you once you accept and really come to know God's love for you. It is there for the taking, free, with no strings attached. All you have to do is say yes and accept it!Dear Heavenly Father, I am so thankful that you love us unconditionally. You love us so completely. Lord, some of us are struggling to feel this love. We ask you right now to come into our hearts and fill them with your love, perfect love. We ask that you begin to break down any walls that we have put up to keep love out. Lord, we want all the love that you have for us. Lord, I ask that you bless everyone listening to this with a supernatural feeling of love today. That the Holy Spirit descends on all of them and that they can physically feel you giving them a hug today. Lord, you are so amazing. We are in awe of all that you do each and every day. We pray that you help our loved ones to open up and feel your love. Lord, we pray that you shower your love on all the teenagers. Being a teen is so difficult, and many do not feel any love. Please show them how amazing your love is, Lord. We ask all of this in accordance with your holy will and in Jesus's name, Amen. Thank you for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Things that Generate Testimonies part 2 by David Antwi
Today's witness is from my friend Bruce. Bruce reached out to me randomly back in November. He found my podcast and wanted to send in his testimony for witness wednesday. His testimony was about how he went to a healing service and regained his sight and then lost it again when he woke up. I offered to pray with Him, and he agreed. We have prayed together three times now. Bruce has not regained his sight, but something amazing happened each time we prayed together. You can find the testimony from the last two times we prayed together on the Witness Wednesday playlist on YouTube. You can also find them on whatever podcast app you are listening to right now. Today's witness is about when Bruce and his lovely wife Alice came from Canada to visit Gloucester, MA, and my friend and I got to pray with them in person instead of over the phone. It was a great time, and I am so grateful the Lord brought Bruce, Alice, and me together. I know you will enjoy this witness as much as I enjoyed it. God is working in such miraculous ways!Dear Catherine,It is two months from today that we met with you and Nancy in Rockport. In the meantime, you have been to Scotland and back and I have had a new experience which I will tell you about. You may use it in your Witness Wednesday if you would like to. On July 23rd, my wife Alice and I had the pleasure of meeting with Catherine and her friend Nancy for lunch. This vacation had been planned well in advance before we met Catherine. It turned out that Nancy's home was just down the road from where we were staying. Sitting outside by the ocean, the four of us chatted and also prayed together for healing. There was no major change in my eyesight at that time, but I realized that the floaters and shifting debris that I normally saw, were gone. It felt like I had more life in my eyes - just a feeling. This visit was a real blessing and encouragement for us before heading for home a couple of days later.For some time I had been without any sight in my left eye and was able to see light and shadows in my right eye. After this recent change my right eye went completely dark but the movement of floaters was gone. I couldn't tell the difference between day or night. I couldn't see if there were any lights on in the house. Things were the same whether my eyes were open or shut. I had to make an adjustment to this. I found the darkness heavy and depressing. I also felt spiritually let down and more isolated. I heard someone talking about God's light of the world and I thought, we often ask the Lord to shine His face upon us in the Benediction. It was a Monday in August and I told the Lord how I felt. I wanted to somehow have more communication with Him. I didn't want to be in the dark anymore, and would He please shine His light upon me. The next day, Tuesday, I listened to Catherine's podcast which was about Jesus the Light of the world. This felt like my prayer was going somewhere and I became vigilant. That night I went to bed about 1:00 a.m. I was laying on my back in the dark. A small white light appeared in my head space. It seemed to sparkle and it began moving. It became brighter and larger and closer, shining with the brightness of lightning. I felt the light overtake me and I put my face in the pillow. The light was still there and I realized it was within me. It was beautiful and exciting. I began thanking and praising the Lord for this joyful experience. This light would move and pulse brighter then lower going on for an hour and a half until I fell asleep. I wanted to wake Alice but I didn't want to interrupt her sleep or the light. When I awoke in the morning, the light was gone. I figured this was a one time experience. Later that morning, I began telling Alice about it. I stopped and said, It's happening again right now. There was an arch of brilliant white light before me. Beautiful as ever. It stayed with me for a couple of hours, coming and going into the night. This continued daily much to my joy. I noticed whenever I sat at the table it would appear. Whenever I listen to my audio Bible or even thought about the Lord or spiritual matters, it would appear. I found myself talking with the Lord in this light. If I was praying it would appear. It was always with me when I went to sleep. I soon realized I could call on it by asking it to appear. I was quite amazed by the way this all happened, by the communication which took place , and the overwhelming feeling of God's love. There was nothing to do but simply enjoy the moment with the Lord and His light. As I write this, the Lord still shines his light upon me, every day and every night. This has been an unexpected and thrilling blessing for me, far better than I hoped for. I can't help but feel this is leading me somewhere good. My hope and faith has never been more confident than it is now. It is so easy for me to trust the Lord to love me and walk me where He wants to take me. He really is my guiding light. I have in the past had close encounters with Jesus which have been marvelous. But this encounter in His light seems to never end. How wonderful is this. It lifts my heart to look back and see how God works in our lives. Alice and I had planned our trip to Glouchester long before we knew Catherine. Her podcast came out of the blue one night on my google home and caught my attention. Her faithfulness and prayer support is so appreciated. Through Catherine and the prayer group she attends, I have also met Nancy and talked with Robert and learned that they have also prayed for me. These friends in prayer and support have inspired me and I am privileged to know them. My visit in July was meant to be some sort of breakthrough. That's what I had prayed for. As often is the case, I felt things didn't go as I had hoped. As it turned out, I received a blessing I never expected along with new found faith and hope. A few years ago I heard a story told by an Anglican minister in England. He was known for his healing ministry. He told the story of a women who had lost her sight in both eyes. The women related how she started seeing a white light. This light would come and go from time to time and would vary in intensity. She said this went on for some time. One day she heard about a special healing ministry near her. The light continued to be with her. She made her way to the healing service in Blackpool. After preaching the gospel of Jesus, the minister invited people to come forward for healing prayer. Many people went forward and she waited in her seat where she was healed.I thank the Lord every time I see his light. I thank the Lord for my friends in Massachusetts.May the Lord bless you Catherine and your ministry.Bruce and AliceThank you so much for sharing your testimony with us and for allowing me to share it on my Witness Wednesday. I know your story will give hope to so many others out there who are also waiting for some pretty big answers to some pretty big prayers. Your faithfulness will help them trust in the Lord more. Thank you again for sharing and we can't wait to hear your testimony when your sight is fully restored for good this time! www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

Seeking Divine Guidance and Strength: A Father's Day Reflection on Psalm 119:17-24 As we gather this Father's Day, considering our "Summer in the Psalms" series, we find ourselves reflecting on the rich tapestry of wisdom in Psalm 119:17-24. This passage offers us profound insight into seeking God's guidance and strength. Imagine Psalm 119 as a roadmap, guiding us to a place where the heart aligns with divine instruction, much like a child looking up to a father for guidance. It's a fitting backdrop as we celebrate fathers today. Let us dive into these verses with open hearts. Point 1: Ask God for Help (Psalm 119:17-18) "Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." Sub-point 1: God as Our Provider Verse 17 begins with a request to God: "Deal bountifully with your servant." This is a cry for help—an acknowledgment that all we have and need is rooted in God's gracious provision. As fathers and as children of God, we recognize our dependence. It's like a craftsman asking for the right tools; without them, his work cannot be fruitful. Fathers, remember that ultimate provision and help come from God. Sub-point 2: Illumination from God Verse 18's plea, "Open my eyes," signifies our need for spiritual sight. In our roles as fathers, leaders, or guides, we must continually seek God's wisdom. It's as if walking into a darkened room, feeling our way along with hands before our eyes, we long for the light to understand our path. Practical Application: Each day, begin with a prayer seeking God's provision and sight. Involve the family in this habit, showing them dependence on God's wisdom is generational. Point 2: Ask God for Power (Psalm 119:19-20) "I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me! My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times." Sub-point 1: Earthly Transience and Heavenly Power Acknowledging our status as "sojourners" calls us to focus not on earthly power but on divine strength. Think of a tent versus a brick house; one is temporary, serving us only through God's strength, like our time on earth compared to eternity. Sub-point 2: Consuming Passion for God's Commands This passage describes a longing as consuming—like a parched throat thirsting for water. Fathers, cultivate such a longing in your households; instill a desire for God's word stronger than any earthly passion. Practical Application: Model a lifestyle that prioritizes spiritual discipline. Lead times of study and reflection with your family, showing a genuine longing for God's power and guidance. Point 3: Ask God for Persistence in Opposition (Psalm 119:21-24) "You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments. Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies. Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes. Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors." Sub-point 1: Trusting God Against Opposition Facing opposition is inevitable; it's like a great oak facing storm winds, standing firm because it is deeply rooted. Fathers, your role includes standing against opposition to the truth with courage that only God provides. Sub-point 2: Joy in God's Testimonies as Guidance The Psalmist finds delight and counsel in God's word despite adversity, making it a sustaining joy like a balm to alleviate pain. Encourage your family to see God's word as a reliable counselor amid life's trials. Practical Application: Create an environment where challenges are met with scripture-backed resoluteness. Share stories of historical or biblical figures who triumphed through steadfast faith. Conclusion and Christ Connection As we move towards communion, remember Christ's promise in Matthew 7:7-11. Just as a loving father gives good gifts to his children, God desires to supply us with help, power, and persistence through Christ. In something as simple as asking, He provides abundantly. To those here who do not know Christ, I urge you to ask for the gift of salvation He freely gives. Open your heart to the Lord who offers help, power, and eternal perseverance. For believers, let this be a reminder that fatherhood, in all its forms, mirrors God's love. Seek His presence in all aspects of life, and let your home be a place where reliance on divine guidance shapes every action. As we partake in communion, may our hearts reflect gratitude for the gifts afforded by our loving Father.

Open Forum: Pastor Amos led a rich and transparent open forum discussion where participants explored how to make decisions led by God rather than by emotion. Carron raised questions about discerning God's voice when emotions are high, prompting Pastor Amos to encourage taking time to calm down, ask what Jesus would do, and trust God's guidance even through potential missteps. The conversation expanded to include topics like biblical interpretation, counseling methods, and the role of peace and fear in decision-making. Pastor Amos distinguished between following peace and avoiding discomfort, and he urged caution in projecting personal biases onto scripture. Testimonies about healing, personal growth, and wrestling with traditional doctrines enriched the dialogue, with Rosalind sharing her evolving views on baptism, tongues, and modesty. Pastor Amos emphasized the value of understanding scripture in context and avoiding man-made doctrines that can lead to spiritual bondage.

Miguel Angel Angeles, executive director of Bethel Radio & TV, shares the history of a ministry that started with one Christian asking a radio station to play audio cassettes of his sermons on the air. As the radio ministry encouraged and built up the church, it expanded into Venezuela, Colombia, and other areas. Today, Bethel is a network of hundreds of radio and television stations, based in Peru and reaching Spanish speakers all over Latin America and the world. Miguel will share about his own start serving in IT with Bethel TV, and how he came to understand the importance of bringing awareness of the persecuted body of Christ through Bethel programming. “My first time listening about the persecuted church was when Petr Jasek came to a conference in Peru to share his testimony,” Miguel said, “and it created a hunger for me to learn more.” After hearing Petr Jasek speak at a conference about his own arrest in Sudan, Miguel's church began to meet every Monday to pray for the persecuted church and to learn more about fellow believers facing Christian persecution. Week after week, God prepared Miguel's heart as it was continuously stretched by the stories of bold faith in the face of hostility and persecution. After reading Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs, Miguel knew he needed to share about persecuted Christians with the broader church in Latin America and with his radio audience. Listen as Miguel shares the heart of his church for missions. Churches dedicate one Sunday a month to focus on missions and missionaries. You and your church will be encouraged to make missions and praying for persecuted Christians a regular part of your worship gatherings as well. Pray this week for Miguel, his family, and Bethel Radio & TV as they continue serving the Lord and sharing the voice of persecuted Christians with Spanish-speaking people around the world.
