When Bob and Keren Heppe arrived in London as missionaries in 1994, they could not have foreseen what shape their eventual ministry would take, but they had some inklings. “Our team had the conviction that the church should present a gospel that not only offered salvation in terms of forgiveness and eternal life, but also […]
Isn’t it ironic? Despite the rise of technology and the unprecedented access to information that its given us (or maybe because of it), we’ve got a problem: we don’t know how to remember anymore. The other day, I accidentally locked myself, two new volunteers, and (most importantly) my iPhone out of the church office while we […]
In a very real sense, the work of Jesus is complete. When it comes to our standing as beloved, forgiven, delighted-in sons and daughters of God, “It is finished,” just as he said. His sinless life secured for us a new and irrevocable status—holy and blameless in God’s sight. His death fulfilled the requirements of […]

This time it was in Spain, chosen for its centrality and affordability. Staff came from Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America. There were more than 500 people there all […]
His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful. But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God. (2 Chronicles 26:15-16) In the past year, five of my friends who are pastors have lost their ministries because of moral failure. Five. […]
One of the most specific instructions the Bible gives parents about teaching their children is also one of the most neglected. My family and I are spending some time in London.
