Jailed in Angola

Angola is a beautiful country with amazing people. Vibrant, growing …..but the latest policies by government to restrict churches changed everything. We found some of our pastors jailed by planting new churches. What is behind all of this? We have planted nearly 1 000 churches by the time I left Angola […]

What Keeps You from Going?

If everyone is a missionary, then no one is.

If “my mission field is the ground beneath my feet,” as some have said, then why should we expend the energy or resources to go to a foreign land and learn a new language and culture? In fact, it would be a waste of resources to do […]
