Erika Sukkau opened the front of her Bible and purposefully printed these words: “Here am I. send me!” The 19 year old had just attended a Jantz Team youth rally where the speaker posed a challenge to those who believed God was calling them to missions: to declare to Him that they were available. And so she did. Erika still has that Bible.

A panic attack came over Jess* and in a matter of seconds she was blind. What would cause the body chemistry to have such an effect? But it doesn’t stop there.

A strange and sudden noise interrupted Laurence Hiebert when he was working in the church office one day in early September. The MBMSI missionary, serving in Toyota City, Japan, stepped outside to see that the handrail on the stairs was broken.

A conversation with a business man on a flight bound for Saskatoon, SK in May 2006 challenged John Wiens to consider full time ministry in Ukraine. The statistics that he learned alarmed him: the ratio of women to men in their 60s is 30:1. Why? Because men are dying from alcohol poisoning. But alcohol addiction isn’t the only tragedy in Ukraine. Divorce rates are at 80% and the nation is home to 100,000 orphans. Rampant corruption and a discouraging economy leave Ukrainians with little hope. John couldn’t shake the facts from his mind.

Seizing the Divine |
|

“I’ve missed my divine moment!” Jeremy told his teammate as he crawled into their tent at night. The Nomad Team had been trekking through Central Asia and building relationships with families in a remote valley.

But God had plans to stretch his mind even further and call him into a deeper relationship with Himself.
