Pray for Inspire 2017 ~ Inspire 2017 is a conference to connect people from across the 1,000+ churches in the Christian Reformed Church for three days of worship, workshops, speakers and conversation. As we plan and prepare for this event, happening August 3-5 in Detroit, Michigan, please join us in praying for the event and all who will attend. Registration opened last week: please pray for those organizing and taking in registrations, and for those registering or thinking about it.
Thank You ~ Last month a group of interested TeachBeyond members gathered to reflect on how we could advance the cause of transformational education around the world. This is TeachBeyond’s core mandate: we are called to pursue the Great Commission through an education that embraces the good news that God is willing to transform, not just reform, our hearts and minds in Christ. The Christmas story highlights this inner transformation as we think of God becoming flesh in order that Christ can live in us. TeachBeyond members are witnesses to the light and love of the Savior of Bethlehem through the life of Christ in them. And you are part of this global witness as your partner with Jon & Melissa Barlow. Thank you for igniting and fueling this vital ministry through your gifts and prayers through your Faith Promise offerings.
