Teen Guide into the World of Missions
Opening hearts for mission: Getting tweens and teen involved in the Church with a capital C Church can get a bit boring sometimes, especially when you are young and there are so many other things you can do. It is normal for older children to start to question the reason for church. Perhaps that is also the best time to

What is the 10/40 window? On world maps, you can often see lines that indicate how far North or South something is. You may know the equator, which runs round the globe, exactly in the middle. The line above that is 10 degrees North of the equator. If you go up a few lines, you get to 40 degrees North

We have all missed having large, inspiring meetings with brother Yun and other speakers. And it may be a while before travel is normalized and they can resume. But in the meantime, we have a good alternative and it is better in some ways because it does not limit us to a handful of locations. Our Back to Jerusalem workshop

In August of last year, disaster struck Beirut. The blast from the explosion destroyed most of the city and was described by one witness as being like 15 years of war in 15 seconds. Because of our GateKeepers, we were immediately able to send funding to teams on the ground, who began distributing aid. The BTJ missionaries there were able

Two weeks ago, we wrote about the Nigerian church as a force for mission in Africa and beyond. What impact is the Nigerian church already having? What vision do they have for the future of mission? And what challenges do they face as they seek to obey the great commission? To get an inside perspective, I contacted the NEMA, the
