BTJ in the Classroom
Designing a Comparative World Religions course for an online Christian high school is an interesting proposition – probably because there are so many ways to approach it. I recently moved to a new city with my wife and children to start a job with a Christian school here in Canada, and I was asked to do just that. Actually, I

We can say that 90,000 Christians were killed for their faith last year, but what does that actually mean? What is the tangible impact on our lives?

Pakistan’s military quickly sent in security forces to conduct operations in Mastung, where the Chinese were being held. When they

Launched early this year, our GateKeepers Program continues to grow as new members team up with BTJ from all over the world! This summer we have been specifically petitioning new GateKeepers to help us grow and support our ministries in North Korea.

Children are a blessing from the Lord, but so often when we talk about world missions at church, children are left out. Maybe things have not changed that much from when children were blocked from coming to Jesus in Matthew 19:13, but Jesus taught all of us the importance of children when he responded by saying, “Suffer little children, and

If they are caught, they could be beaten, thrown into prison, or worse. Every day, BTJ missionaries from
