Last evening I attended my first commissioning event. A young couple has been called to the missions field and this was their send-off. It was an evening of preaching, prayers, and tears. While everyone who knows them and loves them is excited and proud for answering the call, we’re also sad to see them go. …
Day 8, the final day of the Week of Prayer for International Missions focuses on the growth and multiplication of churches in Czechia.

Watch this short video from IMB.org Two things greatly impacted me from this video: When Mike said that in order to find one Christian in northern Africa, he’d have to meet over …
My heart is for the unengaged/unreached people groups around the world and for missionaries. That’s why I chose to become a “Prayer Champion,” a liaison between IMB (International Mission Board) and our local church in 2020.
