Some of you may remember my previous blog: “Voices of Praise.” The purpose of that blog was to report good news about what God was doing in various parts of the world, and to share requests for prayer involving missions outreach.
Since that time, a number of different things have happened:
1. The blog site has disappeared, and after a frustrating morning attempting to find it, I have given up, and started another one.
2. I have begun teaching a class on Ethnomusicology in Christian Missions at Dallas Baptist University. Thus, I have a new perspective on Christian Missions from a Music perspective.
Today, I simply want to begin again, and give some encouraging and up-to-date news concerning response to the gospel around the world.
After careful consideration, I have decided to name this blog “Our Faith–Nuestra Fe–我們的信仰” after a CD which was produced in Cali, Colombia at the Communicaciones Bautista Internationales Studio.
Obviously, some references will be made to missions efforts in English, Spanish and Chinese settings, areas where Nannette and I have ministered in recent years.
Each day, I will share a verse or two from God’s word from a list that has meant much to us during our overseas ministry.
Here is the passage for today:
Isaiah 54:17: No weapon formed [forged] against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn [refute]. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, for their righteousness is from me.
Let me know what you think. Later I will post a report from a special conference on missions in Nebraska.with my good friend John Mark.
Blessings,
Milton Lites,
servant of the Lord
