One of the ways we aim “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13, ESV) is by providing solid reliable resources for our partnering churches, leaders and saints. These resources include a bit of something for everyone – articles, news, books, videos and messages.
