Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
How do you measure success? The world looks at bank accounts, houses, prestige, degrees earned, or your position in the company. The athletic world looks at scores, games won, and championships attained. The church may look at membership rolls, worship attendance, the number of baptisms, or the size of buildings. All of these things are... Continue Reading →
These Syrian children were forcibly displaced and now live as refugees with their mother in Athens, Greece. Over half of the world's refugees are children. In this family's case, their father had been killed. These children live with their mother in an apartment building that had been converted into a makeshift urban "camp." Near the...

Lee, Erica & Cheri For the past 20 years women inmates across Kentucky have been shown the love of Jesus Christ through worship services and the Christ-centered teachings of Freedom Forever Ministries.

If you or I were to write the script for the advancement of the gospel after Jesus’s death and resurrection, I dare say it would not unfold quite the same as it did in the book of Acts.

Jesus commanded each of us as His disciples to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). Our mandate as followers of Jesus Christ is to take the Gospel into all the world and to make the name of Christ known among all peoples. We are compelled to proclaim... Continue Reading →
Last week, at our annual state convention, we recognized churches that had shown marked improvement in their missions participation. Those churches understood the commandment we’ve been given to go and make disciples of all people and had intentionally sent their members out on mission. It was so interesting to learn of things the churches had... Continue Reading →
