Into All The World | Travis & Teri Snode

Our home church recently started a “Yokefellow Ministry”.  The purpose of the ministry is to partner church members the missionaries who are sent out of the church to more fully meet the needs of the missionaries and to be active fellow workers with them in the truth. WHAT IS A YOKEFELLOW? The name “yokefellow” comes […]

The Prize Principle: God will reward willing people who do God’s work or who help someone else to do God’s work.  When Ezra went back to rebuilt the temple, some went and some sent (Ezra 1:3-4).  Some were stirred up to go up and build the house.  Some were not stirred up to go, but […]

The Privilege Principle: God’s people are privileged either to do God’s work or to help someone else do God’s work.  Being involved in the Lord’s work through supporting and sending others is a tremendous privilege.

THE LOG By Perry Draper (Reprinted by permission from HIS, student magazine of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, C. 1963.) It was a large log, one of the largest I’d seen. Surely some fine lumber would come from this freshly-chopped monument. This great log was being carried by several men. As the procession drew closer, I could […]

One huge reason to take a furlough is to be a blessing an encouragement to those churches and individuals who have supported the missionary.  Reporting in to supporting churches is a very Biblical thing to do.  Acts 14:26-28 says, “And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they (Paul and Barnabas) had been recommended to the grace […]
