The Global Church

Joel and Rachel are just about to complete their first year in Southeast Asia. They share how God has been answering the prayers of their children, what their language learning has been like, and a door of opportunity for them to draw alongside the Northern Pwo Karen church (where Joel grew up) and help them to continue to grow in their ability to function as a body, according to God's call and design.

In this update from Pakistan, Pastors Peter and Daniel share both sides of the coin of ministering in Pakistan. First, they share about an encouraging opportunity that God has opened for them to help establish some new mountain churches. God has led them to new group of people who are hungry for the truth. Secondly, they share in regards to the reality of the persecution and the toll that it is taking on the perspective of many of their Christian families. If there was ever a time when the future of Christianity in Pakistan is being jeopardized by an impure, distorted gospel message, it is now! The work that Peter and Daniel are doing to help establish Pastors and their churches in a faith that is founded upon the pure message of grace for every aspect of our salvation is of utmost importance. Please hold them up before the throne of grace!

In 2014, when FBC first began to work with a group of Chichewa Pastors and church leaders in Malawi, all of them were very confused in the faith and did not clearly understand the gospel. In this episode, Pastors James, Stewart, and John share about the impact that the pure message of grace has had in their lives, in their churches, and how it's opening many other doors for ministering among other churches. They are extremely thankful for the way that God has used FBC to equip them with the truth, as well as with the tools that help them equip others in the truth.

Back in the beginning of December, Cedric and Pauline's housing community was hit with extremely heavy rains that resulted in a very devastating flood.

Listen as Cedric and Pauline testify of their experience of the grace and goodness of God while in the midst of very trying circumstances.

A couple weeks ago, Pastor John Morrison spoke on the importance of growing in the Knowledge of God. In His message, John encouraged us to seek to grow in the knowledge of God doing a number of things, one of which was to pick up a copy of the Knowing God lessons that we have up in the Global Mission's stairwell. In these next couple of episodes, we thought it might be helpful to hear some testimonies from folks, both locally and globally, that have gone through the lessons and how they have benefitted from them.

In this episode, FBC Global Mission's Pastor, Jim Pool, Introduces us to two Native American Pastors that we were introduced to not too long ago.
