Bill & Linnea MacCallum

In the parable of the sower, the seed falls on all types of ground, some harder than others. In the same way, God calls missionaries to all types of people, some more resistant to the Gospel message than others. But, no matter where God has placed them, God gives the strength to continue and reap a harvest. Bill and Linnea MacCallum, missionaries to the Deaf, are in a hard patch of ground, but they have remained faithful and are beginning to see the fruits of their labor. Bill MacCullum took his first American Sign Language class (ASL) in 1980 at a local church in Bristol, Tennessee. His wife, Linnea, started learning signs from Bill after they were married in 1989. more..

The Testimony of Abel

Then I was very young my parents placed me under the tutelage of Islamic priests. When I went to them I went along with two dromedary milk cows. While I stayed with them I did not get very much to eat, just a little millet gruel or something. Whenever I became old enough to understand what was going on, I began to try to flee from these priests. I would run back towards home; many times they would follow me and catch me at the well. They would tie me up and beat me. They would carry me back to their encampment. I gained a better general understanding of things, and then I just refused to try and learn anymore. So I left the Quranic school altogether.
