Bravo, Lord!

Bravo LordA reprint of poems by Darlene Bee, who worked on translating the New Testament for the Usarufa people of Papua New Guinea, before she died in a plane crash.

"She was incapable of pretence, and made no attempt to cover up her own weaknesses. It was because she knew failure, poverty and fear that she could accept others as they were." During her times of prayer, the Lord gave her insights into His Word, which she has shared in these poems.

What Do We Do now?

What do we do now coverOn the path God took us, we constantly ran into situations that were far beyond us, and we kept asking, "What do we do now?"

Their friendship and their skills helped mightily to make up for what we lacked." Author Phyllis Healey, who, with her husband Alan, went to the Philippines and later to Papua New Guinea as translators.

The Meeting Place

The Meeting PlaceHow do missionaries keep themselves spiritually fed? Far from their home churches, sometimes far from any other believers, how do they keep growing in their knowledge of God?

Along with times of personal Bible Study, fellowship with other believers, and spiritual encouragement through letters from home, there is the spiritual food that God gives throughout the day. They come to the meeting place of prayer with an open Bible and an open heart, listening for God to meet with them.

The 40 devotionals in this book were taken from talks given by Wayne Huff, who has served with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Guatemala and the U.S., since 1964. 

47 pages, $13.00 (+ $1.50 P & P)

 
Angel Tracks in the Himalayas

Angel Tracks in the Himalayas

  Be prepared when you start this book that you will not be the same when you finish it. This book is a brilliantly written account of the work of Gary and Barbara Shepherd, who began work in Nepal in 1969 with the Magar people.

Each chapter is a stand-alone story of  God's hand at work in the lives of the Wycliffe workers and their translation helper, Baju. This makes it an excellent read for those who cannot always spend long periods reading, or who might put the book down for a while before picking it up again.

In Search of the Source

In the eerie light of flickering torches, the wild hunting party was bringing down giant fruit bats with blow darts and killing them with their bare hands. The cave was full of yelling, splashing men, screaming bats, and deadly darts.
