Ministry Updates

It's been a great first week as John Stonestreet is the new voice of "The Point^®."

In case your schedule hasn't allowed you to listen in, here's a snapshot of what John has covered this week on-air: Discrimination Against Religious Beliefs, Lady Gaga and Your Teens and, of course a hot topic, the Beiber Fever.

The cultural conversations that John's sharing with your listeners are exactly what they'll be talking about with their families, co-workers, neighbors and friends. It's all about reaching people where they are at...or as John says, reaching them in ...

There is no greater privilege for a parent, than praying for our children!  The fact is, praying children (and praying adults) usually come from praying parents!  

As we have often heard on "Keep It Simple," Emilie Barnes encourages us to pray for our children and grandchildren.  

She suggests letting them catch you when reading your Bible, and when praying for them.  When children know their parents are praying for them, it reassures them of your love. 

What a blessing it will be to one day hear our children and grandchildren say, "I am who I am today because my parents ...

Who would you say Jesus is to you?

That's the question that we all must answer and the way we respond is of utmost importance.  Our answer determines how we respond to Jesus and His message.

In anticipation of the upcoming Passion and Easter season, Nancy ...

It's been said that if there's one thing true about divorce, it's that it rarely affects just two people.  And, it doesn't wait until the divorce papers are signed to start having its impact either.  Certainly the children are the ones to suffer the most, but divorce also wears on family relationships, friendships, and sadly, even churches feel the pain.  Unfortunately, I know this to be all too true ... as I'm sure you do also.

Yet as difficult as divorce is, could it be the best - the biblical - option?  When, if ever, should a Christian ...

Recently on Facebook, Dennis Rainey posted this:

"I love to hear stories of laymen and women making a difference for Christ! May God raise up a grass roots movement!"

That's the idea behind this year's FamilyLife Today LIVE broadcasts, hosted by Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine.  During this 3-day annual event, Wednesday, March 30 - Friday, April 1, you'll hear real-life testimonies of people who have been changed through FamilyLife's broadcasts, marriage getaways, family resources, and their new Art of Marriage^TM video event.

And in pursuit of their mission to effectively develop godly marriages and families ...

When I hear the phrase "5 a day", I typically envision a nutrition expert talking about eating five servings of fruits and vegatables a day.  That is until recently, when I heard of a cluster of radio stations in Indonesia averaging 5 people a day accepting Christ.

HCJB Global is excited to share this good news coming out of Indonesia from one of their partners -- Paulus Wiratno.  Paulus has gone beyond the call to answer the need for Christian radio by "planting" 46 FM radio stations.  HCJB Global's Ron Cline, who visited Indonesia last October, says that over 1 ...
