There is an interesting verse in the Old Testament that occurs just after the account of the deliverance of Daniel from the Lions Den. King Darius was so amazed by what happened had occurred that he recognized the power of the God of Daniel.

This month has been a great reminder of the partnerships we have with missionaries internationally and locally. While it is encouraging to hear the testimonies of God’s faithfulness, would the Holy Spirit spur us into action. As followers of Christ, we are all called to be missionaries of God’s kingdom.

This is a summary of an article by Sophia Lee, “Called to Kenya’s Chinatown” [ Christianity Today, Sept./Oct.,2024].
