GOD CHANGES LIVES

There’s something wonderful about springtime when you can leave the dark, cold days of winter behind and burst into longer days, warmer weather, and see new life when flowers bloom, trees bud, and animals have their young. I love that it’s the time we celebrate Easter and the new life we can have because of what Jesus did for us.

Is Christianity Growing Overseas? What the Global Church Looks Like Today

Christianity is often discussed in terms of church attendance in Western nations. But if we zoom out and look at the global picture, a much bigger story begins to emerge.

Across many regions of the world such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America, Christianity continues to grow. At the same time, millions of people still live in places where the Gospel has not yet been widely shared.

  • Have you ever considered God might be calling you to cross the street rather than the sea? The Great Commission is not for “super-saints” who are called to go to foreign lands and declare the Gospel. It is for every Christ-follower to go on a mission where God puts him or her and to daily be salt and light where the Lord has placed them.

  • I was born into a Christian family, but I truly came to believe in God when I was 19 years old. All my life, I was raised in a family where my parents’ word carried great authority. It was this example that helped me understand the value of God’s Word, which is the ultimate authority.

My ministry with children began when I was still a teenager. When I turned 15 and could no longer participate as a camper at a Christian children’s camp, I became a leader and worked with the children.

When I was 21, I got married (in 2010). My wife and I continued our ministry with children. My wife taught Sunday school, and every summer we held children’s camps in various villages in our district. We were introduced to 𝘊𝘌𝘍 programs in 2014. And since then, my wonderful wife Lilia and I have been volunteers with 𝘊𝘌𝘍. 

Please pray for us and for God’s guidance for our family. May God’s kingdom spread through the ministry we carry out, may both children and adults turn to the Lord, and may God’s name be glorified through our family.

When I was four years old my mom opened our home to a Good News Club®. Though Mom was not saved, she would sit in the club each week and listen as the lesson was taught. One day after club I told my mom I wanted to be saved. My unsaved mom led me to the Lord, repeating what she had heard in club each week. Soon after that Mom was saved too. Today there are about 15 different family members in some form of Christian ministry—pastor, missionary, etc.

When I was only three, I was led to the Lord by my brother who’d been trained in a Teaching Children Effectively courseTM. A couple of years later I started going to 5-Day Club® and Good News Club® then attended Christian Youth in Action® (CYIATM) and began teaching at age 12. After six fruitful years of summer ministry as a student and one as staff, I was excited to be called into the ministry full time and be following God’s path for my life.

I started to attend Good News Club® in Sioux City, Iowa when I was about four years old. My older brother went, and I liked to go along. I so clearly remember our teacher, dear Mrs. Dora Lock and her helper Betty Ritchie. She had GNC® in the basement of her home. I remember the day she had the lesson on the crucifixion like it was yesterday. She talked about how Jesus died to pay the price for our sins and all we had to do was believe on Him and accept His free gift. I was ready to accept him that day! I attended for several years and the Scripture that I memorized and the songs we sang have stuck with me to this day. I am forever grateful for my time spent in GNC and am loving being part of it again.

— Marta
