Be an Exponent?

October 23, 2015

“Hey! Come with me! You need to meet Jordan!*” I followed somewhat reluctantly as he went from person to person, introducing me and telling some of what I had been doing. I was training to be a missionary bush pilot and had spent several years in preparation. As my father, he delighted in me and wanted everyone to […]

AWANA Kids!

Where do you work? We worked Papua New Guinea for many years. Now we work from Massachusetts to find more Christians in the USA to send as missionaries to tribes of people who do not know about Jesus.

Going Long, Digging Deep

May 2, 2015

Quick fixes. Fast solutions. Easy remedies. In this age of quick, fast and easy, it is natural to desire a quick solution for reaching the world with the Gospel. We would like to go to the masses, give them a simple formula during a quick visit and leave behind thronging churches which are obedient to […]

Saul fell to the ground and lost his eyesight for several days. (Acts 9:4) John fell at his feet as dead. (Rev. 1:17) Isaiah said, “I am undone!” (Isaiah 6:5) Joshua fell face down.

Purposeful Prayer

March 4, 2015

“Hey, Randy! We just got a call for a medical evacuation.” The flight coordinator told me the location. A bunch of thoughts ran through my mind about the nature of the emergency, the urgency of the injury, weather conditions, the amount of fuel in the aircraft, the duration of daylight remaining, the known airstrip condition and […]

Fishing for Fishermen

January 28, 2015

We each grabbed a wiggling fish with our bare hands. There, ten feet below the surface of the sparkling clear green river, we broke the neck of the fish and swam up to deposit each on the floor of our dugout canoe. After gasping for fresh air, we dove down again to where our cast net was […]

Blessed to be a Blessing

January 19, 2015

In much of life it is not what you know but who you know that counts. It seems that God loves to work through relationships to accomplish His purposes. Advocates have played a huge role in my life. They have blessed me with their energy, talents, wisdom, resources and time. A Sunday School teacher told […]

“I Saw the Lord!”

December 30, 2014

Isaiah was overwhelmed. “Woe is me!” (Isa. 6) He had just seen a vision of God’s glory. He saw the reality of God’s character and grand position. Isaiah was dismayed at his own condition and position as a sinner. The contrast was overwhelming. God dealt with Isaiah’s sin, then asked “Whom shall I send? Who […]

Student Response

Recently Randy met with a High School youth group and shared about God’s heart for unreached people groups. A young lady in ninth grade sent this text to the Youth Pastor: “Hey Pastor Jeff! Tonight was really cool – I always love to hear what Mr. Smyth has to say. I was so excited about […]
