Broken Knee Healed on Skid Row

God remembers those we have forgotten.  Will you follow when He calls you to love the unlovable?  Our friend Arielle came all the way from Singapore to be a missionary here in downtown LA’s Skid Row and shares an amazing testimony of healing and love in a place we so often ignore.

I was a volunteer with a church group that hits Skid Row regularly. We feed them, befriend them, pray with them & simply make ourselves available for God to touch them.

On a typical morning on 27th May 2011, when we were walking around telling people about free food, my friends spotted a lady (let’s call her T) limping along the streets.

Francis Chan chats with WitnessHK // Crazy Love and Radical Obedience 

Would you leave everything to follow God if you heard Him call?

In November 2010, WitnessHK had the privilege of chatting with Pastor Francis Chan while he was ministering around Asia. He shared about how he witnessed God’s love in Hong Kong and how he has continued to be inspired to radically chase after God, no matter where it brought him.

We pray that you will watch this video and also be inspired to radically obey God, trust in His goodness and love, and move forward knowing your identity and purpose in Him!

For more information on Pastor Francis Chan’s decision to resign from his church in the US and travel around Asia ministering for the Lord, check out this article on CNN. http://bit.ly/FrancisChanCNN

Sierra Leone: Darkness to Light



When was the last time God’s love spurred you on to action?  Our friend Dr. Daniel K. Hoh recently traveled on a medical missions trip to to Sierra Leone, the country with the lowest quality of life in the world according to the UN, to shine light to those in need.  What he saw was how love and hope can change a nation.

If you were moved by the video and want to contribute to the completion of the schoolhouse project in Sierra Leone, you can visit ILDI’s official website or make a donation here.
