MASSACHUSETTS – The Berkshire Institute for Christian Studies (BICS) is thrilled to welcome the Class of 2026, who arrived in the Berkshires on Sunday, August 24. This year’s cohort – our largest in more than a decade – consists of 14 students (six women and eight men) from as far away as Georgia and northern […]
TANZANIA – Johnson and Amos were called by the Datoga to attend to an urgent request for prayer. A past conflict with the Hadzabe had been resolved with peace agreements and ultimately an acknowledgement that they are brothers in the family of God. Following that conflict, the Datoga brought water from their own well to […]
Many of us feel inundated by conversations about leadership — especially the shortage of leaders in the church. No one ever complains about having too many leaders. Instead, we often wonder where to begin in training current or future leaders, or if we even have the skills to do so. This episode of “For the Church” offers […]
TANZANIA – There are some darker events in the process of sanctification for the Hadzabe tribal people. When God has great victories, the enemy retaliates with ugly attacks. More than a year ago a small group of male tourists passed themselves off as men of God, deceiving the Hadzabe and subjecting them to perverted practices. […]
MEXICO – Just outside the main area of Maneadero, Mexico, along a dusty road, sits a small building with an attached porch—a humble place that brings healing and hope to some of the community’s most vulnerable residents. That small building is “Torre de Salvación,” an AC church started by Pastor Jaime. Although Pastor Jaime passed […]
I have always been a fan of inviting guest preachers to share with a congregation, providing the church with edifying exposure to many faithful voices in the Christian community. Hearing encouragements from the mission field or other areas of ministry can build unity and expand our perspective beyond our own small worlds. Yet there is […]
THAILAND – Recently, Pohn Yoon (part-time missionary to Thailand) gave a presentation to a Women’s Home & Foreign Mission Society group in Florida. At that meeting, she shared this story. Pohn has a friend named Wayo, someone she worked alongside in a factory in Bangkok, Thailand. They hadn’t seen each other in 25 years, though […]
We are just months away from one of the most important gatherings in our shared ministry — the 2026 Triennial Convention, August 17–21, 2026, at Ridgecrest in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Our theme, “Press On: The Story Isn’t Over” (2 Corinthians 4:16–18), calls us to lift our eyes above the challenges of this world and […]
PHILIPPINES – Nestled in the upland community of Aposkahoy, Claveria, Misamis Oriental, the Aposkahoy Evangelical Advent Christian Church (AEACC) stands not only as a house of worship but as a living testimony of God’s enduring faithfulness. What began as a humble outreach in 2019 has now flourished into a vibrant spiritual family through the unwavering […]
Imagine the sudden weight of responsibility as you realize a loved one — a parent slipping into dementia, a child with special needs or a disabled family member — can no longer care for his or herself. The questions are overwhelming, the decisions heart-wrenching. If you’re like most, you’ve entered this chapter unprepared, grappling for […]

True discipleship always begins with surrender. Jesus said this in Chapter 14 of Luke’s gospel: “Whoever does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.” In a culture where following Christ is often reduced to church attendance, playlists full of worship songs and a convenient spiritual routine – the words of Jesus sound […]
