Guardians of What Matters Most
Often, what seems so important to us in the moment isn’t actually what matters most. I had a dream that I was watching over a people as “guardian of the heart of what matters most.” But I had grown weary in the task. They didn’t want the Lord’s protection, and they didn’t want me. HeContinue reading “Guardians of What Matters Most”

Burmese Christians Ask for Prayer
Since a military coup seized power from the elected government in Myanmar two years ago, security forces have slaughtered an estimated 3,000 people.

Hope for Yemen
Yemen is 99.7% Muslim and considered one of the top most dangerous countries in the world for seekers and followers of Jesus.
