For the last ten weeks, I have been teaching conversational English lessons at the Economics University in Prague. And it’s been a huge blessing in more ways than I expected. Speaking English is a really marketable skill here. It’s almost a necessity, especially for students who’ll enter the job hunt after they graduate. With access to […]
Join us in celebrating with Kijabe Hospital, our ministry partners in Kenya. This year, they celebrate 100 years of healthcare for God’s glory! Recently Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta attended centennial festivities and thanked AIM, the Africa Inland Church and many others for their service. President Kenyatta took a tour, and as he passed through the […]
The answer to the question came quite by accident. And, I don’t know, maybe it wasn’t even the right question to ask. I was just an average musician in a city that had chewed up the best musicians in history, overwhelmed with the thought, “How can I and our church impact the arts in our city?” […]
I believe in the power of creative expression. This is something I have always believed, almost without conscious effort. Since before I can remember, I have always poured myself into my projects or my baking or long ago (or maybe not so long…) in my princess coloring pages. Always striving for some higher expression as […]
Tonia had a nagging voice in her head her whole life. It would badger her saying, “What do you have to show for yourself?” Things of art—painting and writing—are misinterpreted as a frivolous activity. But art also happens to be what Tonia was most passionate about. She is currently working on her third novel and […]
A group of young men (all apparently named Dude) sat in a circle on the airport carpeting and eagerly discussed their plans for a trip to Europe. The group of plaid-clad, bearded, craft-beer enthusiasts was headed overseas not for hip bars in Berlin or the pubs of London. As it turns out, they traveled exclusively […]
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13) When we truly understand the depth and richness of the gospel, we naturally feel joy, delight, and freedom because of who Jesus is and what he has done […]
Yesterday we acknowledged grace, which is perhaps seen most clearly in acknowledging that most of us had mothers who loved us for no other reason than we were theirs, long before they knew anything about how we would turn out. I am thankful for my mother, who created a home, read to us, protected us, believed in […]
Jim Pettit died Monday night in Dublin, Ireland, of a heart attack. He and his wife Laura have been working there with Serge since 2011, facilitating an arts ministry. Serge staff had prayed for years for God to raise up people to go to Ireland and draw closer connections between beauty, faith, the church, and […]
In 1969 Elisabeth Kübler-Ross wrote On Death and Dying which has now become famous especially for the five stages of grief that she presented. I’ve wondered why more books aren’t written about death in evangelical circles. My supposition is that it’s because most of the writing and publishing takes place in the developed world where we […]
