Steve Stewart is ready to give you the experience of your life if you will go with him for 12 days to Kenya this April. I went with Steve for 12 days on a Journey of Compassion to India in January of this year, and it was the most transformational two weeks of my entire life. 

"My journey to Kenya in 2012 was life changing. We get to do many things on our Christian walk that impact us but nothing has touched my life like our time spent in the men’s prison in Nakuru.” -Sue, Sydney, Australia

Do you think there is one correct translation of the Bible? Some believers are passionate defenders of a particular text. The most common claim for validity is accuracy. Certainly this is a desirable quality, that the Bible you read in your own language conveys the same meaning as the original text. This is most important for settling finely nuanced doctrinal issues. Yet how often is it necessary for you to do this? Isn’t most of your Bible reading for edification, exhortation, comfort, and instruction in righteousness? For everyday purposes the best version of the Bible is the one you will read every day. Feast on my word and rejoice with your friend who also feasts on my word, even if it is a different version.

Holy Lord, You said that your prophecy is conditional because conditions change due to human decisions.

Have you noticed that some friendships diminish over time, so that if you get together with some old friends there isn’t much to talk about or much of a remaining bond because your lives have gone in different directions? Yet with others there is instant intimacy and rapport, regardless of your life circumstances and even if you have been apart for a long time, as if you had just parted? Friendships based on a particular activity wane if that activity is discontinued. Abiding friendships have a more solid foundation. I call you my friend, and if I am the center of your life, your other friendships that are based in me will endure.

I love watching children “come into their own”, but often that doesn’t seem to be the case. Many times the little ones are told they are “too little” for something and cannot do things until they are “bigger” or until they “grow up”. I know I slipped into that myself sometimes when my two daughters were small. It was just easier to tell them that when I wanted to do the task myself and not use the situation to make it a teachable moment for them.

Lord Jesus, when we undergo trauma, it often has long-term negative impacts.
I think of the trauma that You went through on the cross and what it did to You.

Ben, I knowingly endured the pain of the cross, the ridicule, so that I could set
people free to worship Me in Spirit and in truth. Knowing what I went through
brings back enduring thoughts of those who have been set free to worship Me
in Spirit and in truth! So you see, I do not look at the pain - I look at the results!
