UNITED NATIONS: as the world gathers — the Church responds
From 22 to 28 September, 193 UN Member States are scheduled to participate in the 81st UN General Assembly in New York. For the church, this is not a time to retreat.

Global instability is not just a political issue. It is a missional moment.
ISRAEL THEN AND NOW: from covenant nation to secular state

GAZA: the 1,000-day question

PERSECUTED AND ABANDONED: the story of the church in the Middle East
Across the Middle East, churches and ministries speak passionately about standing with persecuted Christians — in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and beyond. We mobilize prayer, raise funds, and tell their stories with urgency. Yet when the suffering of Palestinian Christians comes into view — in the West Bank, in Gaza, in places like Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Taybeh — many of these same voices fall silent. This is the sin of hypocricy.
