“My Wife Secretly Prayed for Me”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, February 4

“My wife secretly prayed for me."I heard the man say it as he shared his testimony of how he came to Christ from a Hindu background. His wife (who was also Hindu) came to Christ when someone shared the gospel with her. He was not happy about it, but he loved his wife and since she didn’t interfere with his idol worship, he made pe... Read more
A Visit to the Taj
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Thursday, February 2

If you ever have a chance, you should visit the Taj Mahal.It fully deserves its reputation as one of the wonders of the world. Built as a mausoleum by grief-stricken Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his third wife, the Taj took 20,000 men 22 years to build. Except for the Shah’s tomb, which was added later, everything in the Taj is perfe... Read more
India Pastors Conference
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, January 31

For the past two days we’ve been meeting with these pastors for a time of encouragement. They all come from the same general region of India. As you can see from the photo, most of the pastors are young, with perhaps a year of training, and nearly all of them pastor multiple congregations. Some pastor four churches at a time. Today they ... Read more
Preaching in the Big Tent
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, January 29

On Sunday I spoke twice at the big tent that the local church had erected. To get there we wound our way through the city until we suddenly turned onto a compound owned by the Methodist Church. In the morning I preached to a few hundred. At night the crowd was considerably larger. Benny arranged things so that Josh and I arrived at the tent af... Read more
The Exploding Sermon
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, January 28

We started with a real bang this morning.Benny said he would pick us up at the hotel about 9:30 AM. When he didn’t arrive at the appointed hour, we remembered his advice that in India you need to be like water, ready to “go with the flow.” As we stood outside the hotel, Josh and I watched the never-ending stream of people walking,...

Imperfect
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, January 28

Anyone out there feeling a little bit “imperfect” today? Thank you, I see that hand being raised. Mine too. Here are some encouraging words for “imperfect” people from Charles Spurgeon: Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in you? Does not every day teach you that? Every tear which trickles from your e... Read more

A “So That” Prayer for China
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, January 24

After Robert Schuler attended one of our Chicago home meetings for the new China partnership with Trans World Radio, he wrote me a note containing his “so that” pray for China:"I’ll be praying every day between now and 3/26 - that God would prepare the hearts of the Chinese people, that He would bring attention to the broadc...

So That
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, January 23

A few years ago my friend Robert Schuler shared with me one of the most important insights on prayer I’ve ever heard. Over supper one night Robert told us how he prayed:"When I pray I always try to include the phrase ’so that.’ I heard a guest preacher mention that in a sermon several years ago, and I’ve been doing i...

Remembering the 50 Million
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, January 22

It’s hard to think clearly about 50 million.It’s a number so big that we don’t really know what it means. Take one baby and ponder that child for a moment. Look at his eyes, his ears, reach out and touch his tiny fingers. Hold that baby in your arms and think what a miracle it is that even one baby should enter the world.&nbs... Read more
