The Many and the One

By Andrea Graver, InFaith’s director of communication

As a designer, numbers don’t really do much for me, but this afternoon I saw a report that got me thinking—and writing this blog! It was the tally of all of the work of InFaith’s field staff over the past year. A combination of many numbers created a whole. I started to think about the individuals within that number, those who, to me, are nameless, faceless people we reach in a year, those we may or may not ever know until eternity. Continue

Leaning on Jesus

By Bill Glidden, who serves with InFaith in Colorado

“When you are going through something hard and wonder where God is, remember the teacher is always quiet during a test.” This post on Dennis’s Facebook profile was confirmation of what he had told me a few days before on the phone. Continue

Walking with God

By Debbie Woodard, who serves with InFaith in New Mexico

InFaith is encouraging all staff members to enter into a Ministry Education and Training agreement this year. I have selected a project titled “Walking with God,” which combines Scripture memory and walking. For twenty days, I memorized and meditated on Isaiah 54:4-5(NAS): Continue

Dr. Grace

By Jeff Mould, who serves with InFaith in California

Recently I received word that one of my college professors went to be with the Lord at the age of 75. Apparently he had a fatal skiing accident in Utah.

By Dan Robinson, who serves with InFaith in Oregon

A few weeks ago, I was at a guitar store purchasing some picks and ran into a friend (a sister in the Lord) who was purchasing a harmonica and brace (a harmonica holder to wear around one’s neck if playing a guitar or banjo at the same time.) Since I have played these for years, along with my other instruments, I asked her who it was for. She explained that it was an idea she had for one of her clients, a quadriplegic man who needed some sort of distraction – a hobby. She then asked if I would be willing to give him lessons.

My first thought was, I don’t have time for something else, followed by, I’ve never given harmonica lessons before, followed by, Buck up, Robinson, this may be of the Lord! Continue

“Dave Mentioned That”

By John Pais, who serves with InFaith in Washington State

I had an encouraging time at the prison a few weeks ago. I was working with a young man for the first time, and he would say, “Yeah, Dave mentioned that.”

We talked some more and he said again, “Yeah, Dave mentioned that.” Continue
