9) Here’s One Response to Doug’s New Book (Rescue From Darkness)
Doug would never say this. So let “Mike” say it for him. His printed copy of Rescue From Darkness arrived just one week ago and he’s already devoured it. Here’s what Mike wrote in the review he left on Amazon: “Rescue from Darkness opens your eyes to the power of prayer and gives you a beautiful picture on how faith in Jesus Christ moves people to share the gospel to all people groups, “All Nations.” Doug is a great storyteller and his book gives you a glimpse on how faith in Jesus grows through one prayer and one step at a time. Doug’s journey into mission work is truly an inspiring adventure. This book is fun to read and would be great for any discipleship or prayer team group to read together. Read Doug’s stories, and pray, asking God what he has planned for you to do, then go make disciples. … The book provides a simple outline on what to do and how follow the Holy Spirit and to become a bold witness for Jesus. The scriptures outlined in the addendum of the book are priceless. … Mike from Georgetown, Ohio” Rescue From Darkness is available today in print and Kindle versions at https://www.amazon.com/Rescue-Darkness-Doug-Lucas/dp/B0CV7WLX6H. (Note that Doug has refused personal profit from the book. Any and all proceeds go to train more disciple makers.) read more…
10) What’s the 15th-Largest Country in the World?
As of 2024, what country has more population than the Democratic Republic of Congo, more than Turkey, Thailand, and Tanzania. In fact, it has more than Kenya and Colombia combined! What is it? It’s not a country at all: It’s the diaspora… refugees and people “on the run.” Some are internally displaced – and some are internationally struggling. But either way, with a population of 110 million, this “country without a country” is worthy of your prayer. Pray through the Atlas of Migration today. It’s free. You’ll be astounded. https://migration-demography-tools.jrc.ec.europa.eu/atlas-migration/AoM_CP. (Thanks to Justin Long for tipping us off this past week about the Atlas.
