God alone softens and calls a heart

Powerful testimonials of life change at FCA Camps

“For we are not proclaiming ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’s sake.” – 2 Corinthians 4:5 Isn’t God incredible? He didn’t design the world in shades of black and white—He filled it with endless creativity. From His loving kindness, He allowed there to be unique designs and creations…

What are you THANKFUL for?

I am reminded of the chorus to this classic hymn — Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your blessings, see what God has done; Count your blessings, name them one by one; Count your many blessings, see what God has done. At the top of my “thankful list” is what Jesus did…

His Truth Marches On…

I wanted to share a short video we recently put together that highlights the impact of our team’s work in Africa. We are deeply grateful to the Bolick Foundation for helping provide audio Bibles—such a vital tool in both evangelism and discipleship. The video includes a testimony that I think you’ll find especially encouraging. We pray this is a blessing to you.…

Christ the Living Stone — Building us Together

Like a master architect, our Lord brings together uniquely gifted individuals to build His church.   This is certainly true at our Seminary.

There’s Biruk Chiksa from Ethiopia, preparing to…
