Women On Mission - May 2024

main image

Brianna Daniel recently served at the Send Relief ministry center in Denver, Colorado, a city that is a lonely place in need of many more missionaries. For example, Denver has only one evangelical church for every 32,000 people. While the city is beautiful and attracts many people, much ministry still needs to be done as well.

Brianna’s work also involved supporting a magnet school for refugee children. She led a team to help rebuild the school’s playground and coordinated a backpack drive to provide school supplies.

In addition, Brianna started a burrito ministry at her church. She pulled a wagon full of burritos around the city and distributed the food to people experiencing homelessness. As she did this, she let the people she served know that Jesus loves them and so do many local churches.

THE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM takes the gospel to the nations and the neighborhoods. Your financial support through the Cooperative Program allows missionaries like Brianna to meet physical and spiritual needs in Denver and beyond.

PRAY God would strengthen Brianna in her work and bring many more missionaries to Denver to share the good news of Jesus Christ.  (from Missions Mosaic)

Women On Mission - April 2024

Bill Wallace, Christian Martyr

Bill Wallace made the decision to become a medical doctor in 1925 at the age of 17. That decision took him to China where he served through various uprisings, the Japanese invasion, and World War II. He performed surgery with bombs bursting around him. After the Communist takeover, he remained in China. When America entered the Korean War, anti-American sentiment ran strong in China. Mission boards urged their people to leave. Bill refused. Although he was known as one of the best surgeons in China, and many Communists profited by his skill, the Communists did not spare him. He was sent to prison on December 19, 1950 and accused of being a foreign agent. Two months after his arrest, Bill was found hanging in his cell. His captors claimed he killed himself, but his body told a story of terrible abuse. Armed guards tried to hide their handiwork by burying him in an unmarked grave. Faithful Chinese risked their own lives and buried him with a proper ceremony. Above his grave they placed this sign, “For Me to Live is Christ.” “He was so identified with the Chinese that they considered him one of them, “ said a missionary nurse who worked with him. A book of his life was written in 1963 by Jesse Fletcher. It is titled, “Bill Wallace of China.” A children’s book, “Bill: An American Doctor in China” was written especially for fourth to sixth graders. The author is Ann Lovell. It is available on Amazon.
