Every time I read the Spanish news I see how badly the Gospel is needed in a society that wants nothing to do with God. This is an incredible example: a Spanish company is offering the “answer” to a 25% unemployment level with “professional prostitution courses”. CS Lewis once said “When Satan reminds me that [...]

Hudson Taylor said “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply”. We know that simple obedience to God’s call to [...]
