“ Churches are by nature and by definition reproductive.” - Stuart Murray

What a fantastic, evocative, and exciting description by Harvey Kwiyani of what is happening in (some, urban) parts of the UK today with church, mission and revival. Beautifully expressed, and well worth reading and wrestling with.

Acts 29 Slovakia 🇸🇰 is such an encouraging expression of our worldwide vision of churches partnering together to plant churches. From the big city of Bratislava to the marginalized Roma (gypsy) communities, churches are being planted that make disciples of Christ.

Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.

Great news for the biblical counseling movement. I've known jonathanholmes for over 20 years - he is Biblically faithful, a gifted counselor, and extremely competent in everything he does. CCEF is in good hands.
