George Verwer’s Invitation to ‘Come, Die, and Live’ Radically Changed My Life

 

George Verwer and KP Yohannan on a prayer walk together January, 31, 2020, in London, England.

“I invite you to come, die, and live.”

Those eight words! I’d never heard anything like it.

That night, I tossed and turned, agonizing over George’s invitation. I knew the Lord was calling me to go to places where people had never ...

Death Cannot Kill You – Christ’s Resurrection is Our Hope

A good friend and well-known Christian theologian visited our work in Asia. He came to one of the leprosy colonies, filled with people who are in horrible pain and suffering.

Millenia later, the world is again torn apart at the seams. Civil War in Myanmar. Conflict in the Middle East. Violence and epidemic marring every hemisphere and now, the European continent t...

Myanmar: Christians, Let’s Pray for Our Brothers and Sisters

Luke recorded Peter’s miraculous deliverance from prison after “constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church” (Acts 12:5). Today, our brothers and sisters in the Church in Myanmar are caught in a bloody civil war, and they need our help. They are persecuted, killed, and are literally depending on our prayers for their deliverance. There is only one Church — the body of believers in Christ across the globe. When one part of the body is attacked, praying for their deliverance is up to ...
