Harry Brown, president of New Generations, tells the following story in his book Designed to Spread: Yingongan was a member of a primitive tribe of former headhunters and cannibals who were steeped in witchcraft and idol worship. They lived in Irian Jaya, Indonesia—a land so remote that until the mid-60s, the tribes there thought they were the only people on earth. When Yingongan was a boy, he...
When it is too late for a nation to change For the pessimists and the optimists in a most pessimistic situation – I think it is a good title. This article is to give hope to the pessimists – even those who will try their utmost not to be swayed to be optimistic about anything. This is especially for you. The situation in England in 1770-1790 England was in a shocking condition. The stream of...
From the book Confident Faith by Mark Mittleberg. The title of this article is my own and not the one he used. I strongly recommend this book to Christians.

Most of us have been trained by the prevailing church model to think of ministry as an act of attraction. Create events or invite people into one-on-one coffee meetups, and...
This testimony was, I think, one of the two most important moments in my life. For nearly 50 years, I was looking for the answer to how to disciple new converts and how to activate Christians and send them into the world – equipped to evangelise and make disciples and disciple-makers.

(AD 1200-1500) The period from 1200 to 1500 is referred to as the pre-Reformation period, marking the dawn of the Reformation. This was an especially dark time in the history of the Church, characterised by much persecution of early Reformers.
