Did you ever feel like you would like to help a missionary but you feel like you have nothing to offer?

Think again.

There is something you can do to make a difference on the mission field right now.

You may say, "But what can I do? I have little or no Spanish and lack the training necessary to be of much use?" Don't you believe it! Perhaps you do not think you can help because you are looking at the top rung of service on the mission field. If you are willing to lower your eyes a bit, you will see that there are other places where you can serve.

Like what?

Can you drive? If you can drive and have a servants heart, it is something you could do to help in a small, but real way. You could pick up people for church, drive students from the college to the church or even drive a missionary around, allowing him to get a few more moments for study, prayer or rest. Do you have computer, art or internet skills? There are data bases to create, entries to enter, documents to design, and web pages to publish. Good at business or marketing? Everything from bookkeeping to promoting a Bible College needs to be done. Can you walk, carry a Bible and smile at the same time? Then you can go with me on door-to door visitation. If I had more people to visit with me, I could get more done.

I hope you get it. Come as a partner, servant or slave. If you are willing to lower your gaze you will eventually find a rung on the missionary ladder that you can occupy. And from this lower place you change the world for Christ.

Fish to guard water

Monday 18 September 2006, 22:31 Makka Time, 19:31 GMT

A common type of US fish is being enlisted in the fight against terrorism as a guard for US cities' drinking water.

San Francisco, New York, Washington and other big cities are using bluegills - also known as sunfish or bream - as a sort of canary in a coal mine to safeguard their water. Small numbers of the fish are kept in tanks constantly replenished with water from the municipal supply. Sensors in each tank work around the clock to register changes in the breathing, heartbeat and swimming patterns of the bluegills that occur in the presence of toxins.

The Intelligent Aquatic BioMonitoring System, as its known, was originally developed for the army and starts at around $45,000.

"Nature's given us pretty much the most powerful and reliable early warning centre out there," said Bill Lawler, co-founder of Intelligent Automation Corporation, a Southern California company that makes and sells the bluegill monitoring system. "There's no known manmade sensor that can do the same job as the bluegill."
