 TUOTE 1: T.J. Matthews: The Hunting Safari. Illustrations by Judy Rheberg
“You’re on your way to Africa! Amazingly, your parents have agreed to let you fly halfway around the world to visit your friends in Tanzania. As you transfer from the large jet to the Cessna six-seater plane and head for the shores of Lake Victoria, you know you are flying straight into an adventure. No sooner do you unpack your bags than your friend Dave, hands you a sling-shot and a fist full of stones, and leads you into the African bush.
Birds of prey. Rabid dogs. Venom-spitting cobras. Poisonous fish. A treacherous tree-swing. An afternoon in the untamed African bush offers more than a vacation – it’s an adrenaline-pumping, eye-popping, life-threatening adventure. Will you explore rabbit burrows with Danielle? Go to page 153. Will you escape from the rabid dog? Go to page 24. Will you survive? It’s up to you!
What happens in this story depends on what you choose to do. Better still, you can read this book over and over and have a different adventure each time. Jump into something new every day as you experience life with missionary kids Dave and Danielle. It’s a story you can really get into.”

"God, show yourself stronger than the spirits!"
For years Joanne Shetler had prayed that prayer. And now the village was in uproar.
Two old women who were powerful spirit mediums had decided to worship God. The spirits were angry and the village was terrified. The people pleaded with Joanne: "Those women can't do that, the spirits will kill them."
In the past those who had tried to quit serving the spirits had paid with their lives. Now, everyone was watching, waiting for the two spirit mediums to die.
This is the dramatic story of how God set in motion events that knit Joanne and the Balangao people together in a spiritual battle that changed them forever. For centuries the Balangaos had worshiped the capricious and hard-to-please spirits who made relentless demands for sacrifices. They knew the spirits had power...did God have power?
You'll be inspired and challenged by the simple obedience of this people transformed by the power of the Word.
Joanne Shetler was just a shy farm girl until she caught a vision - God's vision. She went to the Balangao people in the Philippines, translated the Word of God into the language of their hearts, and now they know God speaks their language. Now thousands of Balangaos call Jesus, Lord. Be careful when you read her book, you might catch the vision, too.
Patricia Purvis worked with Wycliffe in the Philippines for fifteen years, part of that time among a people group much like the Balangaos. Today she continues to write for Wycliffe.
And the Word Came with Power has been translated into several languages and has been nominated for the Gold Medalion Award. The Alliance press in Hong Kong nominated the book as one of the top 100 books of the century.

 TUOTE 4: Bernie May: Under His Wing - Adventures in trusting God
"It's hard to tell whether I've learned more about flying from my time with God, or more about God from my experiences in an airplane. One thing is certain, however. During my thirty years as a missionary pilo, I have discovered the validity of certain biblical principles - principles concerning forgiveness, compassion, obedience, justice and faith.
That is the reason I have written this book: To share some of these truths. We seldom get to see what lies ahead. If we get to our destination, it will have to be by faith alone. And that's scary.
I have discovered that while walking by sight is desirable, walking by faith is exciting. That's what this book is: a collection of exciting little stories, most of which have to do with lessons I learned in the air that will teach you how to live by faith. Especially on cloudy days."
Bernie May is executive director of the Seed Company, a ministry of Wycliffe Bible Translators that networks Christians around the world in the task of Bible translation. Bernie has been a missionary pilot in South America, director of JAARS and president of Wycliffe USA. He is married and lives in California.

Hinta: 3 € (Norm. 5 €) |  TUOTE 6: Wayne Huff: The Meeting Place
"How do missionaries keep themselves spiritually fed? Far from their home churches, sometimes far from any other believers, how do their keep growing in their knowledge of God?
Along with times of personal Bible study, fellowship with other believers when and where it is available, and spiritual encouragement through letters from home, there is the spiritual food that God gives throughout the day. In waking thought, in conversations with the people they serve, in observations throughout the day, in personal times alone with God, missionaries learn to eat at God's table when and where they can. They come to the meeting place of prayer with an open Bible and an open heart, watching and listening for God to meet them.
The 40 devotionals in this book were taken from talks given by Wayne Huff, who along with his wife, Alice, has been a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators since 1964. Whether serving in Guatemala or the U.S., Wayne has always been one to feed those around him with insights from God's Word. Some portions are observations from his work and travels. Others are based on stories Wayne collected from other Wycliffe members and his comments on Bible passages with the Christian worker in mind.
Our prayer is that as you read, you will draw closer to Jesus Christ, who wants to meet with each of us each day."
