The last day of 2008 saw us in Mangalore, India which is in the state of Karnataka west of Salem. We had been planning to visit the brethren there for very many years, but just could not find the opportunity to do so. The opportunity presented itself because of the marriage of one of our old friends from Kuwait. Their daughter was to be married on the 30th of December. “It is a …
Christ came into the world to “bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of prison to them that are bound.” Isaiah 61:1. The world is full of men and women who are carrying a heavy burden of sorrow, suffering and sin. God sends His children to reveal to them the One who will take away their burdens and give them …
We have been praying for more ways to reach people more quickly and effectively. One idea was to reach thousands of homes and business with “under-the-door” printed literature and since our small group of believers cannot do all the work, and we know that time is short and we have little time left to finish the work, we began praying about a way to distribute the literature quickly. We decided to …
A personal testimony of how God has led. I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness in the north of Norway, at a little place called Bleik. Here I was taught the Bible and the doctrine of the Witnesses that Jesus was only a created being. Jehovah is the real Creator, who is ready to punish all that do not do as He commands. When I was 14, …
Dear Friend, As the lone angel was joined by an innumerable shining throng to swell the glad tidings “glory to God in the highest” across the Bethlehem pastures, so today we have been promised that the message of “fear God and give glory to Him” will swell to a loud, earth-encircling cry. How we look forward to that time! For …

“All power is given to Christ, in heaven and in earth, and He will impart strength to His followers for the great work of drawing men to Himself. He is constantly urging His human instrumentalities on their Heaven-appointed ways, in all the world, promising to be always with them. Heavenly intelligences…are sent as messengers to the world, to unite with human agencies for the salvation of souls…Why, I ask, in view of …
“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:20. This statement from the loving Savior and Redeemer showed us how He cares for His people in this dark world of sin. For our good He taught us to observe all things He had commanded, to be pure, perfect and be in His peace in …
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings.” Isaiah 52:7. Recently we (Nelson Koroi, David Kaura and Gideon) flew across to Popondetta. We were met by Brother Nickson Ika and his cousin Francis Taimbari from Puri Village. We also met up with Brother Damien, a nephew of David Kaura. We took a hired vehicle from town heading north along …
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid, Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick and it giveth light unto all that are in the house” Matthew 5:14, 15. Our Savior in His sermon on the mount challenged His followers to shine after giving them the light, which is the …
