Mosque Prayer Questions

Posted May 13th @ 11:16 am by Administrator

As a Christian in a mosque, I wondered how Muslims would be treated in a church. Are churches open for visits by Muslims?

Posted May 5th @ 7:17 am by Nathan Bierma

(Quick Thought is a new feature, providing a quick post for you to respond to with your first reactions and thoughts.  The goal is to keep comments short, too.  Maybe a couple sentences but no more than 100 words or so.  Let’s see where the conversation goes!)
“Pre-existing conditions accepted.”

Ping. Pong.

Posted April 7th @ 5:45 am by David Ker

It’s encouraging to see the number of churches in my home country that are getting directly involved in projects overseas. For them, it’s not enough to fund a missionary and send them to do the dirty work. Churches now want to visit the missions they support and get their hands dirty and see first [...]

Are you a Follower of Jesus?

Posted March 4th @ 7:00 am by Steven Koster

I just had an inquiry from the Religion Editor at a major American weekly news magazine. She wants to know our take on the phrase “followers of Jesus,” particularly as an alternative to the term “Christian.” 
I see it on Facebook regularly, when some of my Christian friends describe their religious affiliation with a variety of terms that [...]

Blessed are the hospice workers

Posted October 16th @ 11:43 am by David Ker

My grandmother passed away last month at a hospice in Portland, Oregon. Nanna Mary was always petite. But in the final weeks of her life she was tiny, a shrunken version of the vigorous little English fighter who had served in the Royal Women’s Army in World War II and went on to travel the [...]

I had not heard of this letter before today, but in light of recent happenings with the United States Wall Street it seems extra interesting.

Still Loving People After You Get to Know Them

Posted August 12th @ 3:03 pm by Chris Salzman

A while back Trevin Wax at Kingdom People wrote about being a missionary in Romania:

The more Romanian I understood, the more I learned about Romania and the Romanian people. The more I knew the language, the more I heard or witnessed things that I didn’t like. My opinion of Romanians began to turn sour. Several [...]

From Ignorance to Acceptance

Posted May 28th @ 2:25 pm by Chris Salzman

How long does it take someone to decide to follow Christ?
Here’s a brief comment from a Reclaiming the Mission post (found via ekklesia) that I found interesting:
I argue that a conversion of a post-Christendom “pagan,” who has had little to no exposure to the language and story of Christ in Scripture, requires five years of [...]

Cyclone Nargis

Posted May 6th @ 4:59 pm by Chris Salzman

The BBC is reporting that 22,000 have died and 41,000 are missing from Cyclone Nargis which hit the coast of Burma a few days ago.
I found this video of the storm via youtube.com:

Andy posted about this over at the blog on Gospel.com. Read his whole article by clicking here:
It’s difficult to fathom that much death [...]

Digital Media Missions

Posted March 14th @ 10:11 am by Chris Salzman

Do you love digital media? Are you interested in missions? I happen to think both are rather keen, which is why I’m reposting this story from Mission Network News:
New ministry fields are opening faster than Audio Scripture Ministries can respond.
ASM’s Tom Dudenhofer says they’re in desperate need of media-technologies people with a [...]
