Wendy Schops is a mom, a biker, and a formerly rebellious woman who has been changed. "What's your story?" Wendy asks of others with the biker persona.  Wendy says, "Growing up, we never knew who would be at our breakfast table... my dad would pick up hitchhikers.  Our house was a revolving door."  Wendy says, "Don't look at somebody and put them in a box.  No matter what you wear... we have a conversation and share the love of Christ and how much God loves us."  Wendy continues, "We open the door, that person opens up, we plant the seed. And I say, 'God, go with that person so they will grow!'"

That's somebody's son or daughter

Guest: Amie Pierone | Host: Bob Moffitt interviews Amie Pierone of Eden Tea and Coffee House at ASU.  Why would a math and physics major, who just received a corporate promotion, leave her job and start a coffee house that creates space serving university students?  Amie says she asked the question, "Could there be something more meaningful that the Lord had for me?" And she tells about students experiencing togetherness with God and others around great coffee, tea and pastries. As one customer put it, "Thank you for creating a space full of peace in such a stressful world; Eden has become my oasis in one of the toughest semesters I've experienced yet. Thank you for being so kind and welcoming." Eden Tea and Coffee House

I've seen in my life that if God calls you to something, He backs you up!

John tells stories about God redeeming an individuals life, a family's life, and a whole community. John says, "God has put his image into the heart of the people of Africa." www.gloryhonor.africa

Not only hearers of the Word, but doers

Guest: Edi Demo | Pastor Julian Gibb interviews Edi Demo of the Ilyricum Movement in Albania.  Eddie says, "I was 13 years old when communism left; that was the first time I heard the gospel through the Jesus Film. That was exclusive news to me that someone had died and rose again, because I never heard that during the communism time."  Eddie talks about church planting in this Muslim nation, "The idea is we go to an area that doesn't have a church. We start to make Christ known in different days.  We offer something similar to VBS for two months: 5 days/week, 4 hours each day with teaching, guitar, piano, drama, arts, German language; every week we have a Biblical theme.  At the end of the week, the parents will come to see a show that their children have prepared; in this way we build relationships with them and share the gospel." Eddie continues, "That area is very open with the gospel and they will come the Lord. The biggest challenge and joy in Albania is raising leaders from within because we don't have seminaries in that area, so we raise them from inside that group of believers. It takes 5-7 years for a church plant to be established and they can be on their own."  www.illyricum.org
