In July, Joyce, Crystal Martin, and I had the privilege of visiting Ghana, a West African country. Heralds of Hope has partnered with Torch Ministries of Accra for over twenty years. They share the Gospel with junior high school students throughout Ghana and beyond. Dr. Ohene Kumi leads Torch Ministries. More than 300 schools host […]
Since beginning my job at Heralds of Hope, part of my responsibilities has been to send monthly donations received for Torch Ministries to Dr Ohene Kumi, one of our ministry partners. Dr Kumi founded Torch Ministries over 30 years ago. One day, he was playing soccer in the park with some neighborhood children when he […]
The prophet, Joel, begins his book with these words, “Hear this, you elders, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!” In Hebrew, the verb translated as hear is “Shema.” It describes the mental activity of hearing as well as its effects. The expectation for the person who hears is to obey. The verb translated as“to […]
When did you get your first Bible? Was it special to you? I remember my first Bible. I think I was 6 or 7 and mostly remember looking at the pictures inside it. My older sister has written my name in calligraphy on the dedication page. If I remember right, I received it as a […]
Two questions: during the last five years, what has had the largest spiritual impact in your life? Got it? Now think about the last five weeks. What was a major spiritual influence in your life during this time? The answers will vary: a book, a sermon, or an interaction with a good friend may be some […]
When you hear a certain sound, you associate it with “something”. The basement door at the office makes a certain “thump” when it closes. If you thought you were the only one at the office, it lets you know that is no longer the case. When I hear a grinding, rumbling sound in the garage. […]
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. As I recently considered these realities, the Lord challenged me, in my personal life, as well as in the work at Heralds of Hope. The idea […]
The wonder of wonders as she looked down and smiled That He was her Maker as well as her child He created the womb that had given Him birth He was God incarnate come down to the earth. The wonder of wonders oh how could it be That God became flesh and was given for […]
Recently, on a long plane flight to Africa with Heralds of hope, I was working through a book I had read years ago and didn’t remember much of the details anymore. It is called Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, and is the story of how the Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City came to be. I […]
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were the twin sons of a fourteen-year-old girl. She gave birth to them and immediately disappeared. The boys were adopted into two different loving families, but for 39 years they never met each other. But they each knew they had a twin sibling somewhere. Through the probate court, they finally […]
Do you think that a board meeting is a “bored meeting?” Personally, I find Heralds of Hope board meetings to be exciting, invigorating, and a tad stressful. It is exciting because there are nine additional men who are personally investing in the work of Heralds of Hope. Invigorating, because they bring ideas, caution, and encouragement. […]
Oromo Language Broadcasts “I cannot express in words the benefit of this radio program to the Oromo nation where we are in very dangerous unpredictable problems, due to different crises in the region. This program is the best for our souls and for the body of Christ to which we belong to. It equips us […]
Since 2020, we realize the insufficiency of zoom calls and online meetings. We are thankful for this technology and ability to connect, but it is not a substitute for in person connection. We value the chance to meet our partners and thank God for the opportunity we had to travel to Eldoret, Kenya and meet […]
This past summer, Heralds of Hope held their annual picnic at a park in Shippensburg, PA. It was a lovely time, and the board, staff, spouses, and children enjoyed great food, frisbee, corn hole, spikeball, the playground, and good old-fashioned chatter. As people were arriving, Christian walked up to a circle wearing a T-shirt that […]
Heralds of Hope has been working on new language broadcasts over the past several months. Some of these broadcasts have been taking quite a bit of time to develop. I thought it would be good to give a short update on our next languages. Bemba Bemba is a tribal language in Zambia. There are about […]
We are in the planning stage for 2 international trips. Please pray for us as we plan the travel. Pray for the many details of a trip like this and that we’d be able to build good relationships so God’s Word can go forth effectively and efficiently. The first trip will be leaving near the […]
