Getting people to ‘make decisions’ and cross the line between death and new life is vital. But what comes afterwards?

Many Christians are frustrated, longing for a deeper relationship with God. They want to make an impact for the Kingdom and to share their faith in a way that works, but are unsure how to go about it. Stuck in a rut, they are oblivious to how different their Christian lives could be.

How can we help people to discover the fruitful lives and intimate relationship God intended them for?

Paul’s answer was simple. He said, ‘Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.’

Evangelism and discipleship are part of the same great process and this book is for all those who have ever wondered what Jesus meant when he said ‘make disciples’.

Grasping Heaven is the story of a young lady doctor from Denver — Dr Tami Fisk. Her journey led her to do pioneer work among the Yi minority in the Great Cold Mountains of West China. After three years her promising time in China was cut short as she was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. The ensuing story is her final journey that ultimately led to her death. A story of faith, courage and a remarkable sense of humor.

Grasping Heaven also reveals the striking parallels of Dr. Fisk and the life of Dr. Broomhall, who forty years ago was the first to work among the Yi. His time was cut short due to the communist take over. After three years he had to leave the country. For a glimpse into the thrilling story of Dr. Broomhall's work you will want to read Point Me to the Skies by R. Ronald Clements (an OMF Book).

When God calls Christians into ministry, he desires the whole family to be part of his witness in the community they serve. Christian families can be a powerful witness of God's love and grace through their daily lives. Unfortunately, Satan is also aware that one of his most effective strategies in hindering the Lord's work is to destroy the witness of the family, by taking advantage of the vulnerability of children. Effective, strategic, knowledgeable prayer on the behalf of MKs can prevent the significant loss caused by their not adjusting to God's will for them. This pamphlet will help you pray strategically for MKs.

Thanks to our information-rich society and the availability of travel, a lot of ignorance about the mission field has been discarded. Churches seem much better educated about the nature and needs of the mission field.

But what about the missionaries themselves? What are the facts and fiction about them? What are they like? What do they need? Many North American churches are content to keep their missionary clothed in Superman's costume. They prefer not to probe too deeply beneath the surface. The secular media often goes to the extreme, zeroing in on Clark Kent, and ridiculing him for his human fallibility.

The truth obviously lies somewhere between these two extremes, and if we want to pray intelligently for and support our missionaries, we must make a greater effort to separate the fantasies from the facts.
