In one of his sermons, Jonathan Edwards called families “a little church,” which is a good illustration of spiritual responsibility. The greatest responsibility for the spiritual life of a child is held not by a pastor or youth worker, but by their parents. (From 2017)
The news often leaves me feeling little hope for the future. But it’s also the case that, before starting work on Wednesday September 16, employees across Australia attended a ‘morning briefing’ about why they should, and how they could, bring peace to their workplaces.
I have been involved with WRF for over a decade, and it has broadened my understanding of God’s global work and connected me to believers around the world. I am thankful for many ways I have learned and been encouraged, and for opportunities to share and serve.
