Go Afraid!
LeRoy & Cindy Metzger have absolutely no business attempting missions work in the central African nation of Malawi. They’re both previous beach bums and drug abusers. But something interesting happened on their way to Hell. God saved them. And not just from themselves. They’ve been saved to a life of amazing ministry. Today Norm asks the right questions to […]
Rescuing a Generation
What do you see when you look in the window of a nursery or childcare center? Joy? Trouble? Potential? Well, when the folks at Door of Hope look in on the orphans they’ve rescued from the streets of Johannesburg, they can’t contain their emotion. In front of them are not the rejects of society, but […]
The Door of Hope, Pt. 2
Today Norm and Cher complete their very personal assessment of the Door of Hope project in Johannesburg, S.A.
The Door of Hope, Pt. 1
When God puts beautiful children in your arms, words cannot adequately describe it. Every parent who has ever longed for a child understands. And there is never a child that God does not also love with an all-consuming passion. In the suburbs of Johannesburg, S.A., God said to Norm and Cher “Here, would you hold this for a […]
Magnificent Martyrdom, Pt. 2
Yesterday, Norm introduced us to one of his spiritual heroes, Marj Saint Van Der Puys. As one of the surviving widows of the Auca Indian attack on American missionaries, she bore the grief and struggle of rebuilding a life with young children. To raise godly, compassionate children in such circumstances would constitute a triumph. But […]
Magnificent Martyrdom, Pt. 1
It was the great mission drama and tragedy of the 20th Century: Five young, visionary missionary adventurers doing the impossible – bringing the Gospel to the most feared headhunters of the western Amazon Rain Forest. They developed new technologies and methods. They made friendly contact with the tribe. They were unified in prayer and purpose. […]

One such soul embodied all of that, and she was right at the heart of this ministry. This week in 2014 we gave tribute to Marilyn Huizenga, a lady who quietly ministered to thousands, and made Compassion […]
Are American Christians Soft?
It seems like Christians get a bad rap on a lot of issues. That doesn’t mean we’re off the hook, though, when it comes to honest soul-searching. Today, Jim and Norm explore how the current generation of Western believers really stand in the history of God’s Kingdom – and what more there might be for […]
Search and Rescue
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jeff Crandall has been in a World of Hurt. From the bleeding edge of the War on Terror to the backcountry rescues, his career with the Military as a combat helicopter pilot has put him in some difficult situations, to say the least. All along the way, God and His Word […]
The Unknowns, Pt. 2
Today, Bram finishes a fascinating discussion with Ethan Morse, Chief Warrant Officer 5 with the California National Guard, and Sentinel of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Badge #548. His documentary “The Unknowns” is a masterpiece, but it’s the life that God has grown in his heart and the spiritual fruit that God is growing […]
