Exploring faith online
With the rippling Covid-19 effects and people being advised to stay home, online connections have dramatically increased. We can see waves of people flocking to online communities and content.

Sher’s Story
Sher was a woman from a tribal group in Asia. Her mother died when she was born. Since her father was poor, he went to a mission hospital in the region and asked the Christian community to help him raise Sher.

A taxi driver with a searching heart
What if God had appointed this taxi driver to hear the good news today?

Serving our country
For us as a family, life is taking a different pace.

The unlikely missionary
"For the longest time, I was pretty set on not being a missionary. Scud missiles in the Arab Gulf, tanks rolling across Tiananmen Square, and planes crashing through American skyscrapers... I resolved fairly early in life that I was going to stay put."

‘Loving your neighbour’ doesn’t stop
As soon as we started the official quarantine, several concerns came to my mind about my family back in my home country.

In a temporary place
Speaking and sharing with some of these asylum seekers, we realised the there were common questions we all shared about our lives. We were all in a temporary place, wondering about our and our children's futures.

Watching God’s grace work
Her name was Kiruba, which means ‘grace of God’.

God has a mission for people with a disability
“Disability removes an unhealthy power dynamic in the field.”

Expedition to the Middle East
"As I flew into Jordan and looked out at the desert and the now-dry streams, I thought of the words of Isaiah 41:18 and I imagined God pouring fresh rain in the desert and seeing all of those riverbeds flowing with water. Even more than that, I imagined God pouring out His love to the people of this land."

For such a time as this…
Millennials have a global mindset which gives them confidence for crossing cultural barriers.

A ministry of encouragement
When I first arrived in Central Asia 15 years ago, I vividly remember the Principal of the Theological College telling me, “You’ll be a great encouragement to the women pastors!”

Serving as a single
It is quite a different challenge to move continents and serve across cultures as a single than as a family, but it also presents different opportunities.

God went ahead of us
We were absolutely delighted with the amazing, warm hearted and friendly responses from asylum seekers.

Doing business, doing life
It piqued our interest that our city is known for being a ‘business’ city.

The ministry of being there
Simply sitting alongside the mother, hugging her, holding her baby, and showing love brought comfort.

Called to Support
How can you not become involved in cross-cultural mission when there are many who have yet to hear the Good News?

Conversations about food and faith
I remember it clearly. My simple stir-fry had opened up a genuine and open conversation with a stranger about my faith in a God who loves and cares for the amazing world He has created. How did that happen?!

Social work and software
Administrative things don’t sound particularly exciting, but they have knock-on effects for the quality of social work generally.

Borderlands
We need people skilled in understanding complex social, multi-cultural and multi-linguistic contexts. We need to mobilise those who are willing to live far from the ‘happening places’ in mission and be in for the long haul to be a part of community transformation.
