She Shall Be Saved in Childbearing

Revival is coming to Kenya. It isn't just something that's in the air; it's in their hearts. I listened to a lady from the U.S. as she told me how great the praise and worship services were in Kenya.

What Does Missional Mean?

By Jeff Goins

There is a lot of talk in churches and in the blogosphere these days about being "missional." We used to call it being "outreach-oriented," but now there's this new buzzword: missional. It sounds cool, but what, exactly, does it mean to be missional?
