Ethne: A Network of Networks
Ethne is a decentralized “network of networks” focused on the two billion people who are from unreached people groups (UPGs), those pockets of people around the world still untouched by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Yet for every $10,000 in personal income the average Christian gives 1 penny to reach these people. Out of… Read More

The Worldwide Church is Changing
In 1800, 1 out of every 100 Christians lived in Africa, Asia or Latin America. In 1900, 10 out of every 100 Christians lived in Africa, Asia or Latin America.

In my heart, I truly thought I was serving the Lord in the best possible way. However, in 2002, traumatic events suddenly and completely obliterated… Read More
The Islamic Challenge to the American Church
Allah Wa-Akbar, Allah Wa-Akbar: The Islamic call to prayer blasts out in the darkness of the early hour. It’s 5:15am and I, still in my sub-conscience sleep, can hear my father as he rises for prayer. Ever since I can remember, my father in his crippled state has risen early to start his first of five daily prayers. Never would I have imagined that one day I would see my father’s faith and religion, the root of our family for years, as a false teaching. Never would I have imagined that one day I would become a born again Christian and… Read More
