Early Missionaries

In Rome in A.D. 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive. Is my faithfulness as strong?

Jesus did not forget he was god immediately after performing a miracle when he was a 3 month old fetus. He also did not forget he was God immediately following the 4 day miracle at the Temple when he was 12 years old. Don't let anyone tell you this as it is not Biblical. We will follow a half a dozen gospel accounts of Jesus as a baby, boy and young adult so you can understand who he really was as a special incarnation of the Creator. We will cross-compare details for accuracy, and not make up things we can find out. You will see how Joseph and Mary both came from well-off parents, how he ...

Cyprus is known for its beautiful beaches, spectacular sunsets, and wonderful climate. Vacationers by the thousands come here each year to enjoy this island of adventure and frolic. Cyprus has always been recognized for its beauty and mild climate, as well as its strategic location. Through the centuries each competing culture has left its mark on the culture we have come to know as "Cypriot." Each invading ethnic group left archaeological monuments and a rich history, and an identity that has been linked together into a mosaic of sight, sound, language, religion, and culinary delights.

A group of Colombian soldiers prepares to raid a drug lord's safe house on the Venezuelan border.

Perfect for returned missionaries, their family, and their leaders, this audiobook will help you navigate through the mixed emotions of an early release for any reason and press forward with faith.

The fullness and vigour of Christianity has been in decline in the life of the West, the application of gospel truths often limited to personal evangelism and our personal prayer life. But this is a radically narrow view of the Christian mission. In the biblical narrative we see a vision for the mission of God’s people that is nothing less than the faithful worship of God in every area of life and culture - in our laws, educational institutions, politics, and arts, to name just a few.

Volume 2: Extraordinary European and American women have taught, preached, and cared for people in global settings for centuries. Most of the Pentecostal missionaries who went abroad after the early C20 Pentecostal revivals were WOMEN as well. This volume, second in a series, examines precedent and concurrent women from many backgrounds: Catholic, American mainline churches, Evangelicals, and revivalist groups. Before the Pentecostal revivals, career missionary women paved the way for serving abroad, connecting with partners at home, and updating missions administrators. These women, with ...
