I often say if it was not for my wife Gisela, I don’t think I would be doing what I am doing. I do not know very many individuals in my life journey who have so deliberately embraced the place of being a strength in the background as she has. She is absolutely incredible. If you come to our GFA World headquarters in the United States, or visit while she is on the field, you will hardly ever even know... Read more
I’m looking for one who will wait and watch For My beckoning hand, My eye— Who will work in My manner the work I give, And the work I give not pass by. And oh the joy that is brought to Me When one such as this I can find— A man who will do all My will, Who is set to study his Master’s mind. . . . It all began when some of our senior leaders met for... Read more
By: Danny Yohannan In the beginning of the Gospel of Mark, we read the account of Jesus being baptized before beginning His earthly ministry. Immediately afterwards, the Holy Spirit “drove Him out into the wilderness. And He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And He was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to Him” (Mark 1:12-13). I remember hearing one of my seminary professors talk about this when I was in school. Jesus... Read more
When Jesus was choosing His disciples, He chose 12 normal, insignificant men. They were not famous people or great theologians. Most of them did not have a lot of education. He didn’t call them to follow Him because He needed them but because He wanted them to be part of what He was doing, to understand Him and participate in His nature. He wanted them to start thinking. He was training them to go and change the world after He... Read more
When I went to seminary, I learned systematic theology, survey of the Old Testament, survey of the New Testament, history, hermeneutics, eschatology, Greek, Hebrew and Philosophy. But in the midst of taking in so much knowledge, I found myself struggling to find God in my theology and in my life. My heart was dry and cold. Even being an ordained pastor of a congregation at the time, there was still no suspense or mystery about God and who He is.... Read more
The shooting on February 14 in Parkland, Florida, is heartbreaking. It is tragic to watch the decay that has happened in our world. On a much larger scale than any other generation before us, taking the lives of others has become a choice some people make when faced with difficulties. Seventeen people were killed from the shooting, including both high school students and staff, making it the third most deadly school shooting America has ever seen. Public shootings have increased... Read more
In 2 Chronicles, we find the story of King Asa, ruler of Judah. Having inherited the throne from his father, King Asa tore down all the idols of foreign gods early in his reign and commanded the people to seek the Lord (see 2 Chronicles 14:2–5). Soon thereafter, an army of a million men and 300 chariots attacked Judah. With only a mere 580,000 men comprising his army, King Asa quickly called everyone before the Lord and prayed, “LORD, there... Read more

By Dr. Daniel Johnson I love to read. Anything related to medical science and missionary stories top the list. But when I get a book which is both, that’s like hitting the jackpot! One of the gripping stories in such a book I read is about a boy who opened a door no one else could. One day, while walking the corridors of the hospital where he was working, a doctor noticed a number of people gathering around. Curious to... Read more
As the disciples testified of Jesus after His resurrection and ascension, incredible miracles took place. All throughout the book of Acts, we read of how thousands believed on the Lord Jesus, lame people walked and the blind received their sight. As the educated theologians and experts in the Law watched the disciples and the miracles that happened through them, they wondered at their abilities. It says in Acts 4:13 that “when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and... Read more
