Whenever you are provided an opportunity to teach God’s word, you will wrestle with doubts, a sense of weakness, and longing. The great hope of everyday people with only average ability and skills is the absolute promise that God honors our efforts and His Word does not return without producing a strong impact in the lives of others.

PassionLife’s plans for the new year are driven by the global picture of abortion. We are focusing on three regions of the world where abortion is most concentrated as well as specific high-priority countries.

The traditional nativity scene brings all the pieces of the Christmas story together into one picture. But don’t forget the red dragon from Revelation 12 is also part of the Christmas story. He came to destroy Christ the moment He was born and he’s trying to destroy us even now. Let us rejoice in the victory and wage the war of love.
