:: Word from Seth Barnes | House in Ruins ::

When your house is in ruins, what do you do?
Here’s a man who has a sad but wonderful story. His house collapsed, yet his wife and eight kids miraculously survived. They’re in a tent city, but the owner of the land wants to move them off. So now, all they have left is the lot underneath their ruined house. If that was your life, where would you start? What would you do?

The Awakening :: Ireland 2010

We’ve all heard the rumor and the whisper of another world. A world where nothing is impossible, and the barrenness of the earth begins to look like the fruitfulness of the garden.

The Awakening is a time to gather with like-minded people who are desperate to pursue this as normal Christian living. Join us for a time of worship and impartation. A mighty shout will be heard as past, present, and future racers converge.

WR :: Human Trafficking Edition

January 2011 – May 2011
Application Deadline: October 15, 2010
Human trafficking, also known as modern-day slavery, is the fastest-growing criminal industry in the world, based on the recruitment, harboring, and transportation of people solely for the purpose of exploitation. Over 27 million men, women, and children are enslaved in our world today, 80% of which are women, and 50% are children. We believe God has a divine purpose and plan for these individuals and that we get to be a message of truth and hope to them.

Prison Outreach
By Brian and Beth Woods
While in Pattaya we did a prison outreach through the Mercy center twice a week. The majority of them were from Cambodia and had illegally crossed the border to find work in construction, and then after the work was finished their employer’s turned them in as illegal immigrants which got them arrested and shipped back to Cambodia without pay.

Injustice and my thoughts
By Michael Sanders

Soooo this isn’t like most my writing. It comes from a place of brokenness. God led me there, towards the end of Nigeria. He let me, to some extent, feel the weight of injustices around the world, and the way it breaks His heart. It was very heavy, and writing this gave me some relief I guess.
