One of the defining scriptures in my life is Romans 12:1-2, “I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable into God, which is your reasonable service. And be not confirmed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that […]

As he lay on the ground outside his mud brick home I was struck not only by his vulnerability but by the stigma and discrimination that has historically accompanied this frightful affliction.

When Kathy and I travel dusty rutted roads to remote rural villages in Africa, we’re often reminded that what to us is third world is not necessarily so for the inhabitants, especially those being cared for by our WOW partners. The pic above is a good example. Here’s a single mom, obviously proud of and […]

Recently in Malawi Africa, Kathy and I spent a few days with our team of volunteers visiting and praying for dying villagers. The dusty ox cart trails between the villages and the oppressive heat exacerbated our awareness of the adversities these precious people face every day. Over the past 25 years we’ve prayed for countless […]

Many times over the years Kathy and I have visited remote African villages where our local church volunteers are compassionately providing home-based care (HBC) for afflicted and/or dying orphans and widows. In the dust, heat, and adversities of disease and soul stressing poverty, these indomitable volunteers provide the loving extension of Jesus’ hands to “the […]

One of WOW’s ministry countries is Malawi in Southern Africa. It is the 4th poorest nation in that massive continent.

As I write our western world is still reeling from the assassination of Charlie Kirk. And, it’s been reported that the assassin has been taken into custody. All indicators point to a hate crime. Hatred has an energy all of its own. It’s like a malignant growth that accelerates as the one infected percolates in […]

In our ministry we stress both gospel teaching (Jim Cantelon Today TV) and gospel living (Working for Orphans & Widows). Righteousness and justice. It’s our mandate. By God’s grace we march to the beat of that heavenly drum.

What a comfort to know that the hands of healing and the sustainer of life is our Heavenly Father.

There is genius in taking our burdens to the Lord and leaving them there, remembering the wisdom of the words, “In thee o Lord do I put my trust.”(Ps. 31:1).

Jesus had a high view of children. I remember this always as we at WOW minister to children at risk in Africa and India. The kingdom of heaven is theirs.

As I write there is an ongoing search for missing children and adults in the aftermath of the horrific floods in Texas. We’re all shocked and saddened by the loss of life, especially the little girls who were swept away from their idyllic summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River. It’s hard to […]
