A classic definition for Christian Missions is proclaiming the Gospel message outside of your culture, as in "going to serve at a great distance." It is taking the message of Jesus Christ where He has not been found or has not been preached before as in unreached peoples groups. However...

 

Next, our Thirty Years of Legacy…






 

Dr. Francis Schaeffer who co-founded our ministry has given us a call that we have not yet adhered too. Now we have an opportunity to do so.


It is our VISION and call, and commitment to point the church back onto the path of making disciples. It is our passion and directive to lead Christians away from our false perceptions and into His way.

Continuing the Legacy and Influence of Francis Schaeffer with New Research and Findings!

Good news, We are rejoicing, we got our stolen website and domain back…


It is back, after nearly 5 years of absence, stolen by pornographers in Brazil who forged registration docs… after 5 years of litigation and prayer we got our domain and website back: www.francisschaeffer.org/


We merged it with our new site www.churchleadership.org/and will be loading the missing articles soon….

Church Growth Tip of the Week

 

Communicating the gospel in a postmodern context can make us feel forced to compete with the entertainment industry. Do not let this happen. Most people are over stimulated already, and do not always need the PowerPoint and multimedia show. They need reality. Use media as a tool if you need to, or if your people like it, but ask and find out! (I personally love PowerPoint, but I was on staff at a church that did not, so I did not use it.) We cannot compete with Hollywood. Furthermore, we do not have to! We have the power and presence of the living God! (Isaiah 55:6-11; Jeremiah 31:31-34; Romans 6:3-11)

 

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

 

Pray for discernment in exposing any plans of the enemy against your Church or attacking your pastors and staff. Ask Christ to protect us as we wage spiritual warfare against the enemy on behalf of our Church (Eph. 6:11-12, 16; Col. 2:6-8; 1 Pet. 3:12).
