Elijah Company: Mentoring workers for the global harvest
At age 22 I was at a missions conference where the speaker said, “many are willing to go to the missions field but not many are planning to go. We should be planning to go but be willing to stay” That night I committed to plan to go and since then have worked in many [...]
Formed: Persecuted Church Economic Network
More than 200 million Christians in 60 countries are persecuted for their faith every day. In addition to physical violence, widespread unemployment in developing countries and social ostracism means these Christians also face the daily challenge of providing adequate food, clothing and housing for themselves and their family.

Baptizing illegal aliens
During the 1970s I taught at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The Primera Iglesia Bautista Mexicana of Fort Worth in the North side of the city was without a pastor.

Immigration and emigration in the context of the Great Commission
A debate rages here in my home country, the United States of America. Perhaps it’s not big news if you live elsewhere.
