Dear Family and Friends, You are likely feeling very frightened and bewildered right about now. The world is in chaos after millions of people have suddenly disappeared. Panic reigns everywhere, and you are confused and don’t know what to do. Let me explain to you what is going on and what to do about it.  First of all, what just happened is that Jesus Christ suddenly removed from the earth all those who had accepted Him as their Savior and Lord and been born again. Jesus promised in the Bible that He would remove them, and He has done so.  (See 1 Thessalonians 4: 16-17).     Many will try to give you a different explanation of what happened. They will say, for example, that those who were removed from the earth were inferior beings of a lesser consciousness.  When the world leader called the AntiChrist rises to power—which he will do shortly, if he has not done so already—he may say that he himself removed all Christians from the earth.  Regardless, t...

The Church in Nepal continues to flourish amid pressure as a remarkable indigenous movement; the large majority of Nepali Christians worship and fellowship in thoroughly indigenous structures and networks. The Church is growing in numbers, diversity, and maturity, but prayer is still needed.  Please also pray for the network of Pastors we work with within Nepal.  Click to read the latest stats from  Operation World - Nepal

We want to thank Grace Klein Community for telling our miracle story !  They truly are one of our favorite ministry partners located in our hometown of Birmingham, AL. Miracle Moments        “Jesus said, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God.’” John 11:40 At Grace Klein Community (GKC), we believe in miracles and see them every day. With a community of thousands of volunteers, we cannot post all the prayer needs on our social media platforms. Some days, however, God impresses on our hearts that the time is now to engage the entire community. January 27, 2021, was one of those days. Long-term volunteer Rob Compton was in the hospital with COVID and pneumonia. The doctors told his wife, Kathy, that she had one day to get affairs in order and informed her that he would be on a ventilator the following day. The doctors said he had two to five days to live. Of course, Kathy never mentioned to anyone that the doctor gave Rob a death ...

How does a person develop a passion and interest in missions? For some of us it was part of the family we grew up in. For others, it’s conviction from the scriptures or a Spirit-given leading.  Sometimes it’s an invitation from someone to participate in a project, a fund-raising effort, a mission trip or meeting, or hearing a missionary speak. Reality Is, it has to start somewhere. We never fully experience God in his fullness until the first step of faith is taken.  The question often is where and how do I start? If you live in Birmingham, Alabama we are big fans of Grace Klein Community. GKC seeks to create authentic community (Koinonia) by uniting diverse individuals, businesses, ministries, and churches to work together by sharing what they have in order to meet physical and spiritual needs both locally and globally. The following numbers for 2020 showcase what only God could make possible.  2000--NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS HELPED  101,000- NUMBER OF PEOPLE HELPED...

In just a matter of days, the world as we knew it suddenly changed. The air we breathe became sweeter.  We try to act normal yet our minds race with questions.  When will this end?  Will all those I love make it through this? What about my job and future?   In the best-case scenario, 100,000 to 240,00 American's will lose their lives in the next 30 to 60 days.  Now, that truly is an overwhelming statistic that I can't begin to wrap my mind around.  Yet, that's the reality we face. Unfortunately, some of us may not make it through this.  So, with that thought in, we should ask ourselves the most important question of our lives.  Are we truly ready to meet Jesus and give account for how we how have lived?   When you watch the video below, ask yourself a simple question.  Do I truly believe that I've repented (turn from) of my sins against God, asked Jesus into my life, and allowed him to be Lord of my life?  The answer to th...

Brothers and sisters, over the next days and weeks, we will be asked a lot of questions that will challenge each of us. The COVID-19 Pandemic has made us all stop and think.  In the video below, Francis Chan challenges us to have a proper perspective to make sure we have the right mindset. The four main takeaways are: 1. Don't lose your perspective. 2. Don't stop rejoicing. 3. Don't stop the joy. 4. Don't lose your peace. God's providing a unique opportunity. There are a lot of people looking for answers, and therefore, asking questions. Somewhere along the way, they have seen something in you by the way you talk, live, and act. Now God is directing them to you. If you are living your life so that God is shining through, you have the answers they are seeking. Be ready for the conversations while you yourself are seeking the Bible and the Holy Spirit for truth. Let's not miss this opportunity to make Jesus known!
