Who Holds You Accountable Online?
Christian accountability is an important part of discipleship. We often hold our Christian brothers and sisters accountable for inappropriate words or acts, but we might neglect one place where we spend a lot of social time.
Virtual Mission Trip
COVID-19 has been a curveball for churches and missionaries alike. For our church, all of our trips were canceled. I am sure your church is in a similar place. The question facing all of us is the same: How do we do missions when we can’t go anywhere?

Iniciativa de Apoyo Técnico para Iglesias Pequeñas
Aunque han mejorado mucho desde aquellos primeros días de la pandemia, nuestras iglesias pequeñas aún no cuentan con los recursos necesarios para producir una buena calidad de transmisión.
Pero, Dios que es dueño del oro y de la plata que está más interesado que nosotros en la proclamación del evangelio de Jesucristo hasta los confines de la tierra ha levantado un grupo de líderes y ministerios de la iglesia con el objetivo único de proporcionar los recursos que nuestras pequeñas iglesias necesitan para predicar el evangelio en las redes sociales—y hacerlo con calidad y profesionalismo.
Reaching Your Cross-Cultural Neighbors from a Social Distance
Thanks to COVID-19, many Christians might feel at a loss for how to live out the Great Commission call in day-to-day life. How could we possibly go and make disciples of all nations when simply engaging with friends, family, and our church community seems so difficult? However, you can find creative ways to reach the nations near you—even in a global pandemic.
Putting Our Faith Online
During this pandemic, I’m finding new opportunities to reconnect with those I haven’t talked with in a long time. It is encouraging to get updates on what the Lord has been doing in the lives of friends and relatives over the past 15 to 20 or more years. It’s also important for us to make known the righteous acts of God, as we’re told in Psalms 105 and other places.
Fridays in the Field
A lot of things have changed in the last twenty years. That means the way our team operates is going to change as well. For the last several years, we've been experimenting with a different schedule of office hours, and the results are in: we would be better off spending our Fridays out of the office and in the field serving our people. Therefore, our new office hours will be 8am-4pm Monday-Thursday with Fridays in the Field. #BetterTogther
La Historia Se Repite
Hoy en día, algunos comunicadores cristianos están haciendo un impacto para la gloria de Dios a través de la radio y la televisión. Sin embargo, no fue así al principio. Cuando llegó la radio, algunos líderes cristianos comenzaron a usarla para esparcir el evangelio, pero no sabían cómo manejarla efectivamente. Pagaban caro por un horario de baja sintonía y usaban un formato tipo culto. Como resultado, la audiencia que alcanzaban era de creyentes. O sea que gastaban el dinero predicándole lo mismo a los mismos.
Social (Media) Resources for Reaching Your Neighbors
How do unchurched Millennials find community? Why, the Internet, of course! I've compiled a list of a few helpful resources for finding people and joining them in their everyday lives. I hope that you can use these as tools to share Christ with people where they are.
