In Japan, for instance, a majority of Christians first came into contact with the Gospel via English lessons. (It is now possible to teach English online as a form of sensitive outreach.) Around the world, there is now a big hunger by people who want to learn how to use computers and gain IT and Web skills – a genuine practical felt need. They see it as a major part of their education and a means of employment advancement. There is thus a big doorway open for local churches and mission agencies to teach these skills. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-maestro-at-his-best-5889 2009-09-11T11:29:32-05:00 Maybe most of your strings have broken and you're down to one string. That's the moment when the Maestro is at His very best. He lovingly holds you in His arms and He says, "Almighty God and one string." He's about to play something beautiful, something unforgettable, something amazing through your life. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Prov.22.29&version=NIV 2009-07-21T15:57:35-05:00 Skill is a prized thing. A skilled hand doesn't just do piecemeal work for obscure men. Proverbs tells us that that skilled hand will serve before kings.
