Download or read book God Speaks My Language written by Aloo Osotsi Mojola and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fascinating and important story of how God’s Word came to East Africa. Beginning with the pioneering efforts of Krapf and Rebmann, Aloo Osotsi Mojola traces the history of Bible translation in the region from 1844 to the present. He incorporates four decades of personal conversations and interviews, along with extensive research, to provide the first comprehensive account of the translations undertaken in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The maps and tables included assist the reader, as does a history of the Swahili language – its standardization, role as lingua franca, and impact on the work of translation. Mojola’s writing is a tribute to those who sacrificed much in their quest to see the word of God accessible to all people, in all places – and the many who continue to sacrifice for the peoples of East Africa. This book is a key contribution to the important and ongoing narrative of how God has met us, and continues to meet us, in our own contexts and our own languages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of God and his work. God brought a timid, self-willed boy from the woods of East Texas to the cotton fields of West Texas. God led him through Wayland Baptist University, the University of North Texas, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to prepare educationally for missionary service. God taught this man, Claylan Coursey, at his first pastorate at Wellington, Texas, to introduce people to Christ as their personal Savior. God then took him with his family to Idaho and taught him how God can use a family to start a new church. From there, God took him with his family to the coast of Kenya, Africa. On the Kenyan coast, God first taught Clay Coursey and his fellow missionaries how to send Kenyan teams out to start new churches in order to touch unreached areas and establish a base for expansion through the Giryama Project. Following this, God revealed his plan for every church to begin a new church. Using biblical methods from the book of Acts, these new churches began to saturate the area with other new congregations. When this movement began to slow, God brought many Christian volunteers from America to join with the churches in partnership for two weeks to help and encourage them in their task of reaching out to other communities to start new churches. This is the story of how this movement spread across Kenya and into other parts of Eastern and Southern Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest opportunity one has is to go on a venture with someone important. The Courseys went on an adventure with God as he called them into a special task with him. He performed wonders as he led them toward the fulfillment of the task he assigned them. They have written fifteen true life stories, mostly of Kenya, of different events that occurred along the way. Not all the situations were fun filled at the time, but with them in the rearview mirror, the Courseys enjoy laughing about them. There were troubles on the road and at home, in floods and dry times, by slithery creatures as well as by two-legged and four-legged creatures, and there were times of good health and times of health concerns. Some of these could have turned into quite bad situations. As the Courseys look back, they can enjoy and laugh at many of the situations with their children and friends and appreciate the ways by which the Lord brought them through each one. They desire to share some of them with you. They recommend that everyone follow God wherever he leads them and, in doing this experience, the best life possible. God brought the Courseys home. He will also bring you home as you venture with him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does God Care? is a collection of true stories from around the world dealing with personal experiences with God. Bartholomew begins the collection with her own story and then presents over 80 other accounts sent to her from people eager to share their experiences. The stories present many different ways in which God touched an individual's life and led them to Him. The stories submitted in the book deal with overcoming drug or alcohol addiction, being healed or experiencing a medical miracle. Others who wrote to Bartholomew tell of religious conversions or simple expressions of their deep love for God and how grateful they are to have experienced His love toward them and for the blessings they received. Bartholomews own experiences are related first. One story she relates how God provided for her and her daughter when they experienced car trouble in the middle of nowhere in during the night. Bartholomew also writes of her near death experience as she went into the hospital for what was supposed to be routine outpatient surgery. As a result of the problematic surgery she experienced physical, emotional and financial hardships. She explains that her faith, as well as her church and family supplied her with strength she needed throughout her struggles. Perhaps some of the most dramatic stories included in this collection deal with an individuals ability to overcome problems with substance abuse. In "Spiritual Advisor" the reader is introduced to a young lady who found herself addicted to both drugs and alcohol. With God's help, as well as instruction from her spiritual advisor and support from friends, she has been able to achieve a year of sobriety. She has also decided to fully dedicate he life to Christ. Another writer from New York relates her experiences with the Bowery Mission Women's Center.

James Hewitt tells of his encounter with God in a train yard. His car, though the gearshift was in drive, moved in reverse out of the way of two oncoming train cars. As a result of this incident and the audible conversation he says he had with God, Hewitt immediately stopped drinking and smoking pot. He is how a pastor and considers starting his own church. More ordinary encounters with God are also included among the stories. One story relates how God used a simple sunset to capture one persons attention and helped refocus his mind to what was important in life. One man relates how he was not able to find true contentment until he turned his life and his talents over to God, even though he was financially successful and had archived what he thought he wanted from life. Many stories of healing are included throughout this collection. In this category are accounts of overcoming medical conditions such as anorexia, hearing loss, diabetes and cancer. In each case the healed person expresses their deep love and appreciation for God and His presence in their adversity...

Download or read book Redneck Halo written by Sherri Cone and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redneck Halo is not your ordinary book on bold faith. It is faith that is stubborn, daring and provocative. In this spiritually charged portrait of life, Sherri Cone shares the story of Star, a countrified vixen in search for God's truth. When Star and Constantine were surrounded by police for grand theft auto, the army of heaven laid a brass foundation. As Star implements twelve key principles to her life, God opened the flood gates of heaven and poured out so many blessing she could hardly contain them. This story will move passive Christians to their tenacity and ignite doubters and unbelievers to all step out "spiritually charged up" and reach for the success that waits you. That's the greatest story I have ever heard." Julio Lopez, age 20
