Cliffhanger in COS, God’s hand, Another retreat! Pray for Publishers

Roy / July 12, 2012

I realized I left you all watching a cliff hanger. While many lost their homes and some even lost their lives up in Colorado, no ISI staff did and our national office was not threatened. God did some amazing things. If you look at the spread of the fire, there was a “bubble” around the …

Roy / May 17, 2012

It’s the end of the school year. Graduation was last weekend. It’s always sad to see friends that we built over months even years go home but that is the purpose of our ministry. To share Jesus love with students and to equip them for effective service back home in their countries. In many ways …
