Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
It’s interesting to note how often we use numbers to determine the success or effectiveness of our churches. We talk about how many attend on Sunday, the number of small groups, how many were baptized or the annual budget. If attendance is less this year than last, things must not be going well. However, that’s... Continue Reading →
The landscape of Kentucky has changed! The nations are now our neighbors. Over a quarter of a million Kentuckians do not speak English at home, and nearly 180,000 citizens of the commonwealth are foreign born. Many of these are unreached peoples who have yet to hear the gospel. Population growth in cities like Bowling Green,... Continue Reading →

Because of this, they often find themselves wondering what to do, how to do it and who to call for assistance. Very often churches have... Continue Reading →
Each local church has the same mission from God regardless of the location or culture of that congregation. In essence, all churches are called to “make disciples of all nations” (Matt 28:19-20). While we have the creativity and wisdom to nuance how each church carries out this God-given mandate, multiplying disciples is the mission of... Continue Reading →
Last week our KY-MSC Family lost one of our longest-serving members. Bro. Jerrell White, who had served as a KY-MSC Missionary with the Earle C. Clements Job Corps in Morganfield since September 1999, went home to be with the Lord. Bro. Jerrell was one of the most encouraging men I have ever met and was... Continue Reading →
There are several things we think about when sending a group from our church out on mission for a week or even a weekend. We expect those going on a mission trip to be people of integrity, faithful in their local church, bold in sharing their faith, and prepared for the work they’re going to... Continue Reading →
