Why We Should Be Involved In Our Canaan Project Yesterday’s entry gave persuasive reasons why our congregation has no business being as deeply involved in the missions work we call our Canaan Project as we are.

In the 1990’s, the church with which I serve embarked on a journey, with the goal of reaching a previously unreached people group with the gospel of Jesus. The planning and preparing took a little more than 10 years, but we planted one of our families in a place where the gospel is not openly…

What follows is my side of a conversation I’ve been having with a friend, concerning the recently passed North Carolina marriage amendment.
