Loud. Soft. Scribe. Blunt.... All Aboard!

We are Newland bound!

The world at our door. 70% of international students are never invited to a Christian home. 80% are never invited to enter a church.

“His authority on earth allows us to dare to go to all the nations. His authority in heaven gives us our only hope of success. And His presence with us leaves us no other choice." ~ John Stott

Time to dig out my passport. A trip to Newland is on the horizon!

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart.

Quote of the Day... "Christ did not die for Muslims to eat pork or for aborigines to wear shoes. Even now there are barriers to people walking through the door of faith to Christ: We call them 'The Wall and The Canyon.' The wall is the barrier of understanding. The canyon is the barrier of acceptance. We are to cross the canyon by seeing that the good news reaches every people without forcing them to reject their own culture."

God has called us to live our lives as a bold act of hope. To hope is not merely to wish for small improvements of personal circumstances. Hope expects all things, large or little, to be overwhelmed and filled with the immense glory of Christ.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not s***f out, till he leads justice to victory. And in His name, the nations will hope.

God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us, that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. Let the peoples praise You, O God; Let all the peoples praise You. Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righteously, and govern the nations on earth. Selah.

Every Christian should live life with an open Bible and a map. ~ William Carey

How precious to me are your thoughts O God! How vast is the sum of them!
