Global revival and evangelization… Cross cultural ministry with Power!
Vision is absolutely necessary for ministry! Last time I talked about how having a vision and being able to impart it to others as vital for you to gain not only financial support, but also prayer support for mission work or any type of ministry.
Here are some quick notes on vision from the Practical Ministry/Marketing [...]
Okay, so you’ve got a vision to GO… to bring Christ to the nations… to see the NATIONS IN REVIVAL! But what you’re lacking is the finances. That’s where most visions end, and I believe it’s because we haven’t done a good job of sharing our vision with others.
Christians can be funny about money - [...]
I need to take a minute and recommend an excellent resource for ANYONE who has a heart for global evangelization and global revival. Perspectives on the World Christian Movement edited by Ralph Winter and Steven C. Hawthorne, is a compilation of various authors who are authorities in cross-cultural ministry.

Mexico is a nation that is desperately in need of revival. As I pray for this nation, I’ve broken it into smaller pieces that I can target and pray specifics for (a prayer tip for you!). Chihuaha is the Mexican state that borders on Texas, with Juarez a major border town that has been experiencing [...]
