Love Looks Like Something
It always feels awkward to me to ask for donations, even for a Christian cause - especially for aChristian cause. Did Jesus ask for money? I think not, but he didn't eat air either. We knowfrom scripture there were followers of Jesus that God used to meet the material needs of himand his disciples. So, I've come to rethink why we, as a charity, do what we do - i.e. raisemoney for projects and ministry...
God Hears and Sees
God hears and sees Carine and her family. Is He calling you to be the one He uses to show His love and provision for them? Become Carine's sponsor today! Many of our orphans, widows, and other forgotten people in India and Rwanda can relate to the sorrows of Hagar in the Old Testament. Life has not turned out as they dreamed.

Bless Your Community

It was to encourage these Jesus-followers to stay true to Christ that the book of Hebrews was written. Some of the highlights of the book are:Christ-followers are under the New...
Angelic Wrestling Matches
When I was in high school and college I went out for wrestling. I know, it’s hard to believe now, but there was a time I enjoyed grappling. I didn’t know until years later that wrestling is also an activity of angels, though I doubt they have the same kind of rules and referees I experienced. Whatever side of the political spectrum you identify with, you have to admit that our world is in the throes of change. I’m here to alert us to the fact that these uprisings are not just contests of ideas. The book of Daniel reveals to...
