Letter from Mike: Year in Review – December 2020

This year has been a challenging time for many people around the world. The disruptive coronavirus, political upheavals, and natural disasters all collided in 2020.

The Sabbath Cure

A woman in Togo breaks family tradition to become a Christian. My name is Adjoua. I grew up in a rural village in northern Togo, West Africa, where my home was typical of most African ones.

Return of the Prodigal

An ex-Adventist receives a vision with a heavenly message. A few weeks ago, I visited the Darara-Lasha church in southern Ethiopia. After two hours of travel, I arrived to meet an aged gentleman.

Here’s a recap of last year’s mission activities. …

From Rock to the Rock

A young man overcomes his rock music addiction. “Must you make all that racket?” my mom hollered. I didn’t care. My parents, who were mostly into rock and rave music, had just gotten me a brand-new drum set for my 13th birthday, and I was highly motivated to learn to play it. My new passion was born. Music consumed my …

Cell Phone Thief

A group of boys search for answers when valuables go missing. My husband Elisha and I returned from furlough in Europe to find the school campus in an upheaval. Money and watches belonging to the students had disappeared. Knives, bread and batteries from the school cafeteria were gone without a trace. Even the radio Elisha had placed out in the …
