Servant Evangelism
Ted McClellan Last fall I preached a meeting in a small rural church in an unfamiliar town. The pastor, now older, had resigned a larger more intense ministry to work in this slower-paced setting.

Thomas Overmiller Some are calling this “the craziest statistic you’ll read about North American missions.” Missiologist Todd M.

Mike Tardive As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you (John 17:18).” What does this mean? How is this supposed to change my life? Many modern-day parables serve to illustrate forcefully for us what Jesus meant when He made this statement. One such parable came before our young church and helped us…

Kristopher Schaal The following testimony is about an event that occurred some weeks ago. Last week, Nathanael and I visited Sun Grove nursing home. We played a trumpet/trombone duet, and I preached.
