My Wonderful Adventures with Jesus

By Tom Sawyer

This is an account of the Lord God calling me into the ministry, preparing me, and sending me to the Philippine Islands as a missionary. While I was preparing to go, He told me not to become associated with any other ministry. That meant I would be totally on my own. After that, He told me not to raise any financial support, but to trust Him, and He would supply all of my needs. Because I was not associated with anyone else, I had to go to the Philippines on a tourist visa and could, therefore, not do anything there to support myself or my ministry. Because of these restrictions, I was totally dependent on the Lord for everything. When He showed me that He had sent out the twelve apostles in the same way, I was very encouraged. He [Jesus] commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff""no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts. (Mark 6:8) He sent out the seventy the same way: "After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, saying to them, 'Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one on the road.'" (Luke 10:1a, 4) This book is an account of the first eight years of that assignment and how the Lord God Almighty became my friend and companion as we walked together, talked together, and worked together and of His provision as He and I ministered His Gospel.
