Beside the Well, Part 1 A well in Togo provides more than clean drinking water. Can you imagine life without clean water? In the United States, one person uses an average of 80–100 gallons per day. We use it for bathing, laundry, cooking, cleaning, watering our gardens and most importantly, drinking. God is so good to have created one of …
Abandoned in Malawi A baby’s life is saved just in time. A peculiar whimper broke through the stillness of the African bush. A lone woman walking on the trail nearby paused. Had she heard a wounded animal? The sound came again. Stooping to peer under the brush by the path, she noticed a lump beneath a piece of cloth. Cautiously …
A Call for Help Amidst setbacks, the gospel work continues in Central Congo. I have seen it time and again: Missionary work changes people’s lives in miraculous ways. Yet too often we limit our efforts to special trips and convenient time frames. How can we remain idle while Satan is working hard to deceive and destroy souls? How long can …
Reaching Hearts A missionary sees the gospel progress through health outreach. Greetings to all our partners in the faith. We experienced many blessings and answered prayers in 2018.

Many people from my area have never heard about the Three Angels’ Messages and the second coming of Jesus. What people do believe in …
Into the Latrine Missionaries determine to help rescue abandoned newborns in their area. “Suzan, I cannot believe this. This is horrible!” Though I have lived in Tanzania several years, I had never heard about the fate of many newborns in the villages surrounding our school. Suzan, one of our teachers, had just told me how they were often thrown into …
In Jesus’ Name Muslim friends request prayers from a Christian neighbor. Not so long ago, I was the only actual resident in our village, but lately, construction has burgeoned. I do miss the peace and quiet, yet the more neighbors we have, the more opportunities to share God’s love! One of my neighbors, Diatou, recently had a stroke that paralyzed …
Golden Moments A woman uses spare moments to hand out GLOW tracts, and God connects her with a searching soul. I was back in my dear Australia!

Fire from Heaven When local villagers mock God’s people, He intervenes to provide land for a church. At a place called Hobicho in southern Ethiopia, no Seventh-day Adventists could be found.
