… you will be My witnesses. — Acts 1:8
What does a witness do? He tells what he saw — or, more likely, what he experienced. As we head into our world, we carry with us a powerful Kingdom building tool, the story of what we have experienced.
God means to be experienced. That’s one reason why life is so full of adventure. The waves rise. The thunder rolls. We sit in the bow of our little boat and start sliding down into the trough. Then we notice the hole in the hull. From there things go from bad to worse as we discover that the life jackets have been blown overboard. And (did I mention?) we don’t know how to swim.
Adventure, of course, is just a fancy word for problems. Every time we get another problem, God is writing another story in our lives. We are His witnesses. We tell our world what we have experienced — how God showed up in the midst of our problems.
Like Jesus said, if we don’t do it, the rocks will cry out.
No matter how obscure you feel, or how mundane you feel your difficulties are, God is fashioning in your life a story that will touch someone else for eternity.

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
