I have an exciting opportunity today to review four books AND give them away! The first one is the one that broke my heart for India. India is a country of more than 1.25 billion people.* I’ll be honest; I cannot begin to imagine what one-and-a-quarter BILLION people looks like. Even more, I find it […]

Everything They Had Was Washed Away
Imagine watching everything you own be washed away by floodwaters and mud. Close to one million people in India and Burma (Myanmar) don’t have to imagine it. In some of the worst flooding since Cyclone Nargis in 2008, around 300 people have been killed and thousands displaced, left without homes, belongings, crops, or churches. Disease […]
Pray for the Women in South Asia
Women in South Asia need your prayers. So many of them are hurting, and they don’t believe anyone will hear their cries. Many are treated as slaves in their own homes. Some are sold as slaves. Some are abused by their husbands, and if he finally decides to leave, the women are the ones who […]

Prayer Requests from Indonesia, Bhutan, India, and Pakistan
Are you familiar with the Joshua Project? They are an amazing research initiative that has compiled information on thousands of unreached people groups around the world. I have learned so much from this site, and I’ve only begun to scratch the surface of their content. One of the things they offer (completely free) is daily emails […]
The Creativity of God and the Curiosity of Children
I always loved animals as a child (especially dogs!). Now as an adult I am fascinated by the incredible intricacies that God fashioned each one with-whether tools to survive in the Arctic ice or the Arabian desert. Why not use what we’ve discovered as adults to spark the fire of curiosity in children and help […]
The Load Camels Cannot Carry
Ever since I first read about camels coming in handy in India, I’ve been intrigued. When I think of camels caravanning across the desert, I think of the Middle East, not India. But I have discovered that camels are used in northern Rajasthan to navigate the desert terrain, some of the hottest and driest in […]
Someone To Turn To
Chances are we walk past them every day, people who are alone with fears and burdens we’re unaware of. Every one of them needs to know that God loves them and values them far above rubies. The need is the same whether you pass the person in the United States at Wal-Mart or on her […]

Nepal by the Numbers
Ever since last Saturday, the eyes of the world have been on a small country sandwiched between China and India. Daily, it seems, the number of those who have died as a result of the last week’s earthquake climbs. It was over 7,000 when I saw it today. Numbers can be overwhelming, but certain numbers […]
World Water Day
Did you know that today about 750 million people around the world have no access to clean water? I cannot imagine living with that reality, yet 3/4 of a billion people do every single day. That includes men, women, and children. Can you imagine bathing your baby in dirty water or giving your toddler a […]

Pray for Christians in India Who Do Not Have Bibles
How many Bibles do you have in your home? If your house is like mine, you don’t know the answer. I have my favorite Bible that is the one I go to often. I have study Bibles, Bibles in various translations, and even Bibles that have study notes focused on certain themes such as history […]
