Franklin Graham’s Abundant Life Festival in Thailand

Franklin Graham: Abundant Life Festival

Franklin Graham recently spoke for the first time in Chiang Mai, Thailand. His three-day Abundant Life Festival, held Nov. 22-24, drew crowds totalling 70,000.

Many believers came together to help organize this massive event. A group of them set up a booth to provide resources for those who wanted to understand the Bible and its message better. They were handing out little booklets that contained testimonies and the first two chapters of By This Name. And, of course, there were full copies of By This Name in Thai for anyone who wanted a book.

In-ká-hai book dedication

Chantal Chen doing a reading.

On Saturday (Oct 5), we had a good time of fellowship as friends and supporters gathered with us to dedicate our latest book, “In-ká-hai: How Sweet It Is!” Chantal Chen, the author, did a reading from the book and we explained how the study guide could be used for personal reflection or small group study. The missionaries’ story of bringing the gospel to the Manjúi people of Paraguay provides valuable lessons for believers on how to actively share the gospel with friends and family. We prayed that God would see fit to use the book to encourage and equip believers everywhere to be ambassadors for Christ.

Thanks to all who took time of a Saturday to join us for in the book dedication!

In-ká-hai: Snapshots of life among the Manjúi

Manjúi life

We look forward to the In-ká-hai book dedication this Saturday. We will be sharing some photos of life among the Manjúi. Looking through the many photos from that time, we were particularly tickled to see the missionaries’ children enjoying life with the Manjúi children. Kids are often a bridge in building friendships in a cross-cultural situation and the Humphreys’ children were no exception. We can’t wait to hear more stories this Saturday.

Don’t forget, In-ká-hai is also available in ebook format. If you have a Kindle, iBooks, a Kobo, a Nook or Google eBooks (or any e-reader that supports EPUB), you can visit our web store and download a copy of In-ká-hai today.

Available from today: “In-ká-hai: How Sweet It Is!”

in-ká-haiWe are happy to announce that In-ká-hai: How Sweet It Is! is now available in all our offices (US, Canada, UK and Australia) and also on our two web stores: US and Canada. In addition, we have released them in two ebook formats: mobi (for Kindle) and ePub (for iBooks, Google Books, Nook, Kobo and more.)

In-ká-hai is part of the Ambassador Series and can be used for personal study, small groups or a class about evangelism. The lessons learnt from the Manjúi experience can be applied to believers everywhere as we live out the biblical mandate to be ambassadors for Christ.

“In-ká-hai” in the making

Making In-ká-hai
A number of years ago our intern, Chantal, was tasked with taking the Manjúi experience and crafting it into a story. The intent was not just to share a powerful testimony of frontline missionary work but to make a link between a tribal group and our friends and neighbours who live in a modern, urban setting. The lack of Bible knowledge among the Manjúi is echoed in our friends—their Bible illiteracy makes it hard for them to understand who Jesus is and what happened on the cross. There is so much we can learn from how the Bible teachers taught the Manjúi. That’s the essence of the book.

In the photo, the manuscript of “In-ká-hai” is laid out on two long tables on the right. Chantal is seated at her desk. John Cross and the Humphreys (who are featured in the book) are huddled together, going through the draft and making corrections.

“In-ká-hai” will be available Sep 23 on our web stores.

Nick Vujicic in Thailand

"By This Name" booklet

As an equipping ministry, our tools are often used by organizations around the world to give people an opportunity to understand the gospel message. Just last week, Nick Vujicic, from the organization Life Without Limbs, was in Thailand. Nick spoke at two events, one in Chiangmai and one in Bangkok. The ministry sponsoring Life Without Limbs decided to hand out our materials to the event attendees.

The attendees were given a booklet that contained the first two chapters of the Thai edition of By This Name. The booklet also included many testimonies of prominent Thai people who had read the book and were impacted by it. At the back of the booklet was information on how to get a copy of the book.
