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://internetevangelismday.com/bookreviews/impact-eternity.php 2010-08-07T17:01:04-05:00 A self-study and group-study course from a partnership of major mission groups.

Well, Scotty kept tapping on the newspaper, and finally Scotty’s dad had an idea: he tore out a page of the paper that had a map of the world. He tore it into puzzle pieces and he said, “As soon as you put this picture together, I’ll play with you.” Two minutes later his son shows up with the picture together. He said, “Scotty, how did you put this picture of the whole world together so fast?” He said, “Daddy, it was easy. There was a picture of a man on the other side. If you put the man together right, the world goes together just fine.” http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/every-dads-a-builder-8296 2009-09-18T14:13:26-05:00 In the course of our ministry on Indian reservations, we met a precious grandmother who told us a memorable story.

Each day as he returned from work, he’d pick up a big rock and bring it home to help build that house. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/how-to-go-everywhere-with-your-kids-8292 2009-09-18T14:08:42-05:00 Our daughter isn’t afraid to tackle a real parenting challenge, like teaching an eight-year-old boy the value of writing thank you notes for gifts he receives.

And while they were writing those notes, she said, “How are you going to remember to do this when I’m not around?” And he said, “The voice inside me that sounds like you.”
