Mission People. Are You Prepared?

Contributed by Jeff Riedel on Jul 8, 2014

Mission work is hard work. Many missionaries endure more things than you could possibly imagine. If you are not truly called to the "Mission Field", then please reconsider your position to serve in this type ministry. Let me share our exploits w/you.

Race To The Tomb

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 31, 2010

He said, "No, God has made me fast and called me to run." It would have been wrong at that point to be a ...read more

No Need For Idols (Isaiah 44:6-23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 2, 2024
