Quotable: “They made a difference …”
“I can't believe that people we know would
be so faithful — even though they are half-way around
the world. They made a difference in the life of a village.” — Kellie Burnham, volunteer missionary
from Kosciusko, Miss., serving in Kenya
Famine has struck Kenya in a big way, with more than 2.3
million people requiring emergency assistance. When a group
of Mississippi Baptists heard how Kenyan Baptists were helping
famine victims, they decided to get involved, too. Read

Crying out to God
for the lost
One of the key reasons the church in
China is growing at a phenomenal rate is prayer. A Christian
worker serving in China observed that Chinese believers
in her realm of ministry don’t focus on praying for themselves and their personal
needs when they meet together for worship. They focus on
praying for the lost, praying for the workers in the fields
and praying for other Christians around the world. And as
they pray, they cry out to God with their voices and with
the tears running down their cheeks. Many Chinese Christians
fast as well, spending two hours at a time kneeling on concrete
floors as they pray earnestly for God’s kingdom to
come on earth. The worker said, “It is my heart’s
desire for people back home to really pray with this intensity,
to really cry out to God on behalf of the lost.”
