Ministry Updates

I just did something I never thought I would.

I did it because I felt God was asking me to do it. 

I spent two weeks in Africa with my teenage daughter on a mission's trip.

I guess that's why it's no wonder that Billy Graham's Advent meditations encourage my heart today.

Mr. Graham reflects on Matthew 1:19-21, "I've often put myself in Joseph's place- imagined his thoughts, his aspirations about the girl to whom he was engaged. But Joseph decided to break the engagement privately.  While he was thinking about these things ...

When you look back at past Christmas celebrations, what would you change? (And, you can’t include uninviting Uncle Harry and his dog!).   

Would you spend less, cook less, or would you have skipped one of the many Christmas party invitations?  Maybe you would have even taken a relaxing vacation!

One thing I would change would be to have done less, and enjoyed the season more. 

Every summer I create a Christmas project schedule (yes, I’m a little obsessed with planning ahead), but this year I was thrown off schedule by a couple of months, and was beginning to ...

If you've been in the industry long, you know that while we're just now turning the calendar to December...NRB will be here before we know it! That's why I wanted to make sure you knew about a special BreakPoint^® partner gathering happening at NRB!

As your schedule begins to form, we knew you wouldn't want to miss this time. Go ahead and put it in your planner now. All you need to do in order to RSVP is drop me a quick note.  I'll send you a confirmation and make sure to give you ...

Over the years though I've learned to worry less about my son and trust God more.  It's not always easy ... yet daily prayer and meditating on Scripture has helped calm my heart during those worriesome times. 

Perhaps you have moms in your audience who are struggling with worry, especially this season?  Encourage them to tune in this week to "FamilyLife Today," when Grace Fox ...

2010 has proven to be a full year of ministry for Nancy Leigh DeMoss and the team at Revive Our Hearts^™ as they've faithfully produced and delivered daily long-form and short-form programming and held three major True Woman '10 events resulting in more than 12,000 women in attendance.  They also hosted a sold-out Pure in Heart Conference just recently in the Tampa area.

This ministry serves as an outflow of God's call on Nancy's life.  Her life verse is Luke 1:38 which states, "I am the Lord's servant, Mary answered.  May it be to ...

There's nothing like shopping at Christmastime to make one very aware every merchant's desire to make us "want."

You surely can't be happy without ______________.
Won't ________________ make you look great?
_______________ will change your life.

I'm so glad Compassion International has created a new website to help us keep perspective this holiday season.  The site is called "Who are the Joneses?" and its purpose is to realize how blessed we are. 

The site allows users to take a journey to four different developing countries - areas where people live below the global poverty line of ...
