Global revival and evangelization… Cross cultural ministry with Power!
“Take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God…” This is God’s admonition for us in Ephesians. But how many of us have separated the spirit from the word? We’re content to quote scripture and apply it to our daily lives, but many times we’ve lost or ignored the life-giving breath [...]
Got a heart for global revival? OR planning on going on a short-term mission or long-term stay in another country? If you want to minister effectively, then learning the language of your targeted people group is essential!
