The app, named <a href="https://www.godbehindbars.com/pando-app"><strong>Pando</strong></a>, is the first and only app that is allowed to bring faith-based content into prisons in this manner. Currently, 459,950 inmate tablets have the Pando App installed, but more are expected in the future.</p> <p>Click the link below to listen to the podcast and hear details about how the effort was started as well as details about some of the initial response the effort has garnered.</p> <p>Please pray that God might move the men and women in prison to read <em>The Journey to the Father&#8217;s Heart </em>ebook, or watch the related video series, and come to know Christ as their personal savior.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://oceansministries.org/reaching-prisoners-via-the-pando-app-from-god-behind-bars/">Reaching Prisoners via the Pando App from God Behind Bars</a> appeared first on <a href="https://oceansministries.org">Oceans Ministries</a>.</p>

<p>I recently spoke with a group of men from southern California, parents of students at Ontario Christian High School, who accompanied their kids on a trip to Lesotho, Africa, and experienced God&#8217;s Kingdom in a tangible way.</p> <p>Dads Kevin Hardy, Perry Eichor, Chris Congleton, and Bryan Vander Tuig discuss their experiences of traveling to Lesotho with their kids, seeing and experiencing God moving and working with them and through them during their time in Lesotho. The groups teacher/leader, Jeremy Zuidema of Ontario Christian, also relates how God provided for him to step out of his comfort zone to embark on the trip and was faithful beyond expectations in blessing the group&#8217;s time and efforts.</p> <p>Listen to the entire conversation below:</p> <p>The post <a href="https://oceansministries.org/what-does-gods-kingdom-look-like/">What Does God&#8217;s Kingdom Look Like?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://oceansministries.org">Oceans Ministries</a>.</p>

<p>I recently spoke with Henry Miersma about my new prayer devotional, <em>Climbing Prayer Mountain</em>. Here are some quotes from the conversation:</p> <p>“It&#8217;s crazy how <em>Climbing Prayer Mountain</em> came together, but God put this book on the front burner&#8230; So I think He has something for it. I think that especially in the days that we&#8217;re living in&#8230; God is calling his body, His beautiful Bride, to seek His face. When we seek Him, we find Him.”</p> <p>“Prayer is that incredible vehicle that brings us deeper into the heart of God, and that love relationship with God. That brings us the strength, the security, and the joy we need to make it in challenging days.”</p> <p>Listen to the entire conversation below:</p> <p><a href="http://climbingprayermountain.com/"><img decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-1477 alignleft" src="http://oceans.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/climbing-cover-mockups.vertical-300x269.png" alt="" width="300" height="269" srcset="https://oceansministries.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/climbing-cover-mockups.vertical-300x269.png 300w, https://oceansministries.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/climbing-cover-mockups.vertical.png 432w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p> <p>The post <a href="https://oceansministries.org/tim-spykstra-climbing-prayer-mountain/">Tim Spykstra Discusses &lt;em&gt;Climbing Prayer Mountain&lt;/em&gt;</a> appeared first on <a href="https://oceansministries.org">Oceans Ministries</a>.</p>
