Welcome to Mission Magazine Radio

Mission Magazine Radio presents life situations that share the love of Christ. Our desire is that through radio, the web or through paper and pen we can encourage you to find what it is that God wants you to do. This could be by a word of encouragement to your neighbor suffering a loss; by taking clean water to introduce the “Living Water;” or by giving you ways to pray for our brothers and sisters serving around the world. As you read our blogs and listen to the podcasts, ask God to show you how He can use you to “Serve Him Locally and Reach Out Globally.” This is our passion – to reach the world for Jesus Christ.

I Want Coffee!

There I was–standing beside the hospital bed where my dear mother laid unresponsive for the past 24 hours. My sister and I tried everything to wake her: We sang to her (that certainly should have jolted her awake), we read Bible passages, held her hand, prayed for her and filled the room with over 25 grandchildren, but no response. Then . . . Continue reading

Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

He looked like a scalawag. He had a long stringy pony tail. His body was adorned with several body piercings and many tattoos. And he was standing next to an old scarred-up car. And he was, and I was in a large Wal-Mart parking lot. Now what would you think and feel?

Grief Is Like A Wave!

Grief is the normal and natural process by which a person makes a healthy adjustment to any significant loss in his or her life. Any significant loss (the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, a broken marriage, deterioration of health, a shattered dream, etc.) triggers this process. Someone has said that grief is like the wave in the ocean. What does that tell you about grief?

I Am Angry

Anger is a natural part of grief. We may not consciously acknowledge our anger, but it is usually there to some degree. When we can express openly our anger at the awful situation we are experiencing, we are dealing with anger in an appropriate way.
