Many scholars have come to think of the European Christian mission to the Americas as an inevitable success. But in its early period it was very much on the brink of failure. In 1576, Indigenous Mexican communities suffered a catastrophic epidemic that took almost two million lives and simultaneously left the colonial church in ruins. In the crisis and its immediate aftermath, Spanish missionaries and surviving pueblos de indios held radically different visions for the future of Christianity in the Americas.

Many young African Americans are disinterested in Christianity and others are leaving the church in search of what these false religious ideas appear to offer, a spirituality more indigenous to their history and ethnicity.

In this book, Josh Dotzler, challenges the way we have been doing church in the Western culture based on lessons he's learned from the COVID-19 crisis. Historically, a crisis highlights and challenges our beliefs and behaviors. It’s easy to believe we are doing the right things when things seem to be working right.

Ce livre peut révolutionner l’Eglise et contribuer à la guérison de toute forme de stérilité spirituelle. Dans ce livre, l’auteur fustige les égarements qui détournent le message évangélique. Il veut, à travers un rappel des vérités fondamentales, ramener le peuple de Dieu à une conquête révolutionnaire des âmes. Car, explique-t-il, l’évangélisation est le fait de présenter Jésus à une personne qui ne le connait pas, de manière à provoquer une véritable rencontre avec Jésus.

Happy is our sacrament of water, in that, by washing away the sins of our early blindness, we are set free and admitted into eternal life! A treatise on this matter will not be superfluous; instructing not only such as are just becoming formed (in the faith), but them who, content with having simply believed, without full examination of the grounds of the traditions, carry (in mind), through ignorance, an untried though probable faith.

If man decides not to do them, they will remain undone. This book, Sanctified and Consecrated for Spiritual Ministry, presents the responsibility of the believer to do that which he must do for his sanctification, consecration, and spiritual ministry.

How and why did the McAuleys prepare for the trip-of-a-lifetime to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania with an elevation of 19,341 feet/5,791 meters? Their inspirational travelogue began with a planned meeting with their sponsored child, Beatrice, a young teenager they’d written to for nine years through Compassion International.

When Jesus thought about the church, what did he imagine? Most churches are small, and rightly so. With power being redistributed in our time, networks of smaller enterprises are both growing and thriving. The yearning for participation and empowerment has us all looking for versions of church that make room for everyone. Perhaps, after all our hand wringing and insecurity about the size of our churches, we have missed the point. Microchurches can be strong, beautiful, accessible, and potent portraits of just what Jesus had in mind, if not for all time, at least for ours.

The shocking level of poverty he was exposed to inspired a brand-new model for charity that brings donors closer to the global poor.

When God called them to teach in Africa, they turned their backs on financial and physical security to accept the challenge of living in a third world country. Through a series of God-initiated events, the Vaughans found themselves living in Cote d’Ivoire, teaching at an international boarding school. In 1997, Ken faced a bout with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. After completing treatment, Ken and Julie returned to Africa to resume the life they loved.
