It can be easy for us all to take certain things for granted: access to food, shelter, clothes and even God’s Word. But what would your life look like if you didn’t have the Bible in your language?

Local Church Ownership: Paying Off Debt and Reaching People With God's Word
When was the last time you saw a miracle or radical answer to prayer in your community? Sometimes we can get so focused on our own local challenges that we lose sight of the bigger picture of what God is doing. But He is on the move even when we don’t see it. God is at work locally and globally in churches, and we should pay attention so we don’t miss out!

Making Disciples as the Global Church
Think about a mentor who shaped your life — a teacher who inspired you, a coach who pushed you or a spiritual leader who prayed for you. These mentors guide and mold us, offering support and wisdom at key moments in our lives. God calls us to thrive in community, emphasizing the significance of forming relationships with one another. Jesus’ command to His followers is clear: “... Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19, NLT). The Great Commission isn’t just about spreading the gospel — it’s about actively making disciples, walking with others and helping them grow in their faith.
