Foreign Evangelism
John Maddocks

In the spring of 1997, I made my first evangelistic trip overseas. Along 
with my lifelong friend, David Spiece, I traveled to Shanghai, People's 
Republic of China, with the express purpose of sharing the Gospel with as 
many as we could in the month we were there. What transpired there exceeded 
my expectations many times over, and fueled within me a keen desire to 
continue this work. Since then I have returned to China twice and I have had 
the opportunity to share the Good News in Singapore, Australia and in India. 
The Lord willing, on October 29, I will return to India, accompanied by my 
dad, Jack Maddocks.

The Compassion of Christ
Jarrod Drawbaugh

It never ceases to amaze me how you can read the same passage over and over 
again and still learn something new or see something you did not see or paid 
little attention to before.  Recently when reading through the Gospels, 
something that struck me in such a way was the number of times Jesus was 
moved with compassion.

Bible Question and Answer

Revelation and the Mark of the Beast
Ethan R. Longhenry

The book of Revelation and the imagery contained therein is a popular 
subject in our society, as it has been ever since John penned his visions. 
The following questions have been asked:

I would like to ask if Christians today believe that the Antichrist is alive 
and if His "mark" is being implemented or not?

Do you believe that Bible prophecy is unfolding right before your eyes, when 
there is a device implanted now underneath the skin and can hold data and 
can be tracked anywhere in the world by satellite? This device has already 
been approved safe for humans by the FDA. Do you know what this device is 
and do you recognize it as being the "Mark" of the beast?

Let us consider these matters.

For the teenagers...

What Every Young Person Should Know
Marshall Reid

Even though I think that I amm still young, I am constantly reminded that 
such is not the case anymore. Teenagers call me "sir". I do not have near 
the energy or stamina I used to have. Roller coasters do not like me 
anymore. I have three kids. But I still remember what it was like to be 
young, and looking back on my youth, I can see how my perspective on many 
things has changed dramatically; I wish that I had known then what I know 
now. Allow me to share some things that I wish I had known or realized at 
that age that are extremely important for every young person.
