Outreach Leaders

Hyperbole seems to be the rhetorical strategy of the day in Christian circles.

One reason younger people say I like Jesus but not the church is they fear the church will try to control how they dress and act and organize their faith the way the leaders think it should be patterned.

Helping new believers recognize the importance of baptism and helping church members understand their role in communicating that importance is one of your greatest challenges.

Each week, more would join us and plead for us to visit their villages. This is nothing new for a missionary in South Asia: we felt the acute tension of His plentiful harvest on the cusp of being ready, yet knew we were woefully short on workers to labor in the harvest.

Cultivate a heart of contentment for true peace.
