Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Celebrates 10 Million! The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) celebrated reaching 10 Million indicated decisions for Christ in June. Each one has a name—and a story. Like Ruth, a suicidal woman and self-described former devil worshiper who felt unworthy of God’s love because of her past mistakes. Or Aban*, a 21-year-old Muslim man from Pakistan who wanted to know more about this Jesus who sacrificed his life for him. In the past six years, over 50 million people like Ruth and Aban have come across BGEA’s evangelistic website, PeaceWithGod.net (or PazConDios.net in Spanish). On June 9th, […]

We live in an imperfect world with a huge imbalance of wealth and power. Sometimes when we hear about social justice in Christian circles, we think of liberal theology, left-wing radicals and some denominations that seem to be more concerned with helping their fellow man than following a conservative doctrinal creed. But God is a God of justice and wants his people to make a difference in the world, standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves and sharing what we have with those who have nothing. Caring for the oppressed, the poor, the disadvantaged, and the socially […]

In 1997, something significant happened in our cities. Florida’s foster care brutality made national news headlines as children endured even greater trauma in the foster care system, making South Florida a dark place to be a child in foster care. Kids were starving, suffering abuse, and even disappearing or dying in the homes that were supposed to be safe — if they even got a home at all. Many kids were sent to group homes, shelters, institutions, and state-run facilities instead of a home with a family. Out of this dark place a movement began. Across our community matches were […]

In the United States this year, 26,000 youth will age out of foster care. They’ll turn 18 years old and — with no family and limited adult guidance — they’ll be left to their own devices to find transportation, finish school, get a job and find a place to live. This can be a daunting enough task for an 18-year old going off to college with a support system in place, but for foster youth nearing emancipation, it can be overwhelming. And the outcome is usually grim. In Florida, more than 50 percent of aging-out youth will experience homelessness, get […]
