The problem of snakebite
“Can we find out more about snakes?” That request from our physician consultant started me on an unexpected journey.
Engaging in our present time
Paper Lanterns
Something compelled me to put an end to my pity party and join him on the mat.
Tribute to John Howard Barclay, AM
Howard Barclay – missionary, leader, encourager, pray-er and family man – faithfully and graciously served with his wife Betty the people of India and Nepal during a lifetime commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
God, what are you doing?
What once filled a family home, now filled only ten plastic crates and two suitcases.
Full hearts
It’s amazing how a small act that seems insignificant in our eyes can spark something huge in God’s Kingdom.
God is moving
"I didn’t want to be alone anymore. I was so lonely I was ready to befriend anything that moved."
What should I say? Praise be to God
“Every day is like this already. Every day is a new problem. What should I say? El hamdullillah [praise be to God].”
Working beside men
Patient care
Jonah’s Tree
Two flame trees below the balcony flash into bloom every year in summer. I look forward to it because it is the prettiest time of year in this beauty-starved concrete city.
Village to the city, and back again
One factor for why girls in villages do not go to school is because there aren’t any female teachers. We hoped to change this.
Seeing the invisible
First impressions can be deceiving. As I started to get to know the women here, I began to understand that they are only “invisible” if we do not take the time to see them.
Realising you are the problem
“Culturally, it was incredibly challenging for Sokly to ask me to release her into her role.”
God has a mission for people with a disability
“Disability removes an unhealthy power dynamic in the field.”
Roses in the wasteland
In a time of upheaval, God is bringing transformation to the lives of those in Southeast Asia.
Patiently listening and sharing hope
Daily life is marred by sounds of the fighting only kilometres away, and bombs explode in the night.
Are you fasting
Are you fasting? This is one of the most common questions we are asked at this time of year.
Love made complete
I met Jesus the other day. He asked me to come with him to see a man who was sick – dying maybe.
Mountains to beaches
"That’s how I come to live near this beach. My brother and I are sort of like Australian teens already, even though the Tibetan community here holds activities to help us remember what it means to be Tibetan."
