See the Lord

Reading: Luke 19:1-10

When men get desperate they do the unusual. Zaccheaus did! He left the office and the the business and went out to the place where Jesus was to pass by. He was quite determined, so as the huge crowd fought against him, to see Jesus Zaccheaus climbed up a tree! Before the day was over, he was the envy of ever one in the crowd-think, how would you feel if Jesus was having dinner with the tax collector! The Master knew that nay person that would make such effort to see Him would certainly be open and receptive to His teaching, and so Zaccheaus was.

Zaccheaus found Him. He, like Moses in the desert, turned aside to see the Lord. To find the Lord you must take time and go where He is. He is in the scriptures. He is in the House of God. He is in the quiet devotional hour. Take time! Go where He is, climb the tree or get on your knees, and you will see Him, for He will surely pass by your way.

Prayer: If youll come to my heart Lord, I’ll remove everything that is offensive, by your help. Amen.

The Tide® Ministry Celebrates Over $27,000 in ‘Year Beard’ Donations at ‘Beard Bonanza’

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.— This past Saturday afternoon, a group of guys in central Pennsylvania got together—not for a big game, a hike or a hunt—but they did have one very unique thing in common. All had committed to growing their beards for an entire year to help raise awareness and funds for The Tide® ( www.thetide.org ) ministry’s work to spread the Gospel around the globe. For the 2019 “Year Beard” challenge, 16 men grew their beards all year long, while several others committed to shorter growing periods—eight for “No Shave November,” one for a three-month period and five for six months. “We are excited to announce that the inaugural Year Beard challenge raised over $27,000 for The Tide global Gospel ministry,” said The Tide Director of Development Mark D. Story, who was also a Year Beard participant along with The Tide Director Don Shenk. “This was due to the diligent efforts of the participants, as well as a generous matching gift. We are immensely grateful to the bearded men who

Christianity Is Unwelcome in Pakistan, But People Need the Hope of Jesus

The nation of Pakistan is overwhelmingly influenced by Islam, with 98.86% of the population Muslim, 0.88% Christian and 0.26% Hindu. But, for those who do not follow the Muslim traditions, life can be difficult. In early 2020, we began broadcasting the Good News of Jesus Christ in two languages in Pakistan—Pashtu and Saraiki. “Today, thanks to a partnership with the Pakistani Christian Recording Ministry, The Tide ministry is helping to air two programs every week for these people groups,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “The programming not only reaches new believers in Christ who have very few Christian resources in Pakistan and little to no support system, but also potential believers who have yet to hear what Jesus has done for them. The ‘Taza Galona,’ or ‘Fresh Flowers’ program, airs in the Pashtu language every Friday morning, while the ‘Hikmet de Moti,’ ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ program is broadcast each Monday morning to Saraiki listeners.” The Pashtun people in northern Pakistan

The Tide® Ministry’s Introduction of the Gospel in Pakistan Was a Two-Year Journey

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.—Thanks to a new partnership—and a two-year process—in Pakistan, The Tide® ( www.thetide.org ) global Gospel ministry is now sharing the hope of Jesus Christ over the airwaves in the Pashtu and Saraiki languages. The journey to begin these broadcasts that are reaching thousands with the unwavering truth of the Bible began two years ago. Radio programming in partnership with the Pakistani Christian Recording Ministry began in early 2020. “In 2018, we identified four unreached people groups in Pakistan that do not have Gospel radio programming available in their own language,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “Our vision is to be sharing the Gospel with all four groups in their own language within the next five years. In 2020, God opened a door for us to take a major step forward by enabling our partner ministry in Pakistan to recruit ministry teams to record and broadcast radio programs and conduct discipleship activities in two of those languages.” One of these t
