Joyce is one of the best practical teachers of the Bible I have ever heard. Few people communicate biblical truth to women, in particular, as well as she does---Bob

Columbian General as Ambassador for Jesus! I heard a man today whose name will be known internationally as soon as his books are published. His stunning testimony is similar to that of the five young men killed in Ecuador in 1950 whose story was just told in the movie At the End of A Spear.

His beautiful 40 years old wife was killed by the fearsome FARC guerillas in Columbia in January 2002 while he was a general fighting them. Through a powerful conversion to Jesus, he came to forgive his wife’s killers and began to reach out to them in love—as the Bible commands. He was later captured by the FARC guerrillas for 22 days. In that time, he began to understand their hearts and they saw his. They all want peace and prosperity for Columbia. He now heads a ministry bringing reconciliation between the guerrillas the Columbian government.

The guerillas now protect him and some in the Columbian government are trying to kill him because he knows too much of about corrupt government officials selling guns and uniforms to the guerillas for millions while pretending to fight them. He is in hiding now to avoid assassination by rich, corrupt leaders in Columbia. Please pray for him. His obedience to the Gospel may serve as an example for how to respond to terrorists worldwide, as well as in Columbia.

Tech Tip: On Getting Website fonts bigger to read, Bob Black responded to last week’s tech tip: “There are some formats where the mouse wheel doesn't work and if it
doesn't work, try holding down the control key while clicking on the plus key (to enlarge fonts) or, clicking on the minus key (to reduce fonts). This usually works all the
time.

Correction: The JAARS event at the airport in Chesapeake on April 22-23 is free, but helicopter rides are $20 and plane rides are $15. (good prices!)
