Justice for Israel

A small but growing circle of Christian leaders is seeking to lead evangelicals in America away from support for Israel and are doing so under the banner of “social justice” and “just peacemaking.” These leaders are portraying themselves as “pro-Israel, pro-Palestinian, pro-peace and pro-justice.” While their intentions may be good, they are actually playing into the hands of a larger, more sinister campaign seeking to delegitimize and demonize Israel. Even more disturbing, their words expose a trend in the evangelical world to disregard the authority of the Bible. They deny the irrevocable calling on the Jewish people and they teach […]

Child Exploitation in Mozambique

Human trafficking has exploded into a global epidemic in the past decade. While this horrible injustice is propagated upon innocents in nearly every corner of the globe, children in the nation of Mozambique in particular are being preyed upon in epic proportions. Sadly, thousands of orphans in Mozambique have no place to call home, no one to protect them, and no safe refuge. They eventually end up on the streets all alone with no real protection, becoming perfect candidates for human traffickers, brothel owners and evil men and women to exploit them. The problem Mozambique has had a turbulent and […]

Israel in the Summer: It’s hot. And it’s fun!

Dr. Carrie Burns Good News Israel is a land of startling contrasts that may take a little getting used to at first. For most people on the outside looking in, Israel is the Holy Land, the place of the patriarchs, prophets, Ruth and Boaz, King David and Jesus. Israel is also a modern nation that is hated by its neighbors and requires high-level round-the-clock security. But for locals? Summer in Israel may be hot, but it is also a time for fun. The places in the Bible and in the headlines are also places of recreation and rejuvenation for the […]

Silence Is Not an Option

1.2 million children are trafficked each year for the very first time. 1.2 million children – that’s one child every 26 seconds. And sadly, by the time you finish reading this article, 18 children will have been enslaved – the majority of them lured or forced into the sex-trade. Now picture for a moment, you are with your own precious children or your nieces and nephews and all of a sudden they vanish from thin air, never to be seen again. They are screaming out at the top of their lungs for help, but no one is there to hear […]

Gospel on the Go

It’s been a little over five years since Andrew and Daniele Vuksic said goodbye to the comforts of home in South Florida and set out on a mission to share the gospel in Croatia. With no major sending organization behind them, no knowledge of the Croatian language, and certainly no guarantee of success, the Vuksics booked one-way tickets to the capital city of Zagreb and went all in to follow a call from God. Today, Andrew and Daniele stand with awe and gratitude as their ministry, Gospel on the Go, reaches hundreds of Croatian and Romi adults and children with […]

Why Should We Care About Israel?

Nestled on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea, Israel is a nation with a rich and unique history. Covering an area of just under 8,000 square miles, Israel is one of the leading producers and exporters of citrus, and is a pioneer of agricultural and fishing technology. Throughout recorded human history, Israel remains unique among people-groups as the nation was founded directly upon the promises and provisions of God. But this tiny nation is also the focus of heated debate. Israel’s position on the world stage is one of the hottest topics in the press today. With danger lying […]

An Impossible Choice

Only a few years ago, the 50 percent HIV/AIDS infection rate on Mfangano Island, one of Kenya’s poorest communities, was among the highest in the world. A culture of prostitution and sexual promiscuity facilitated the rapid spread of HIV which ultimately decimated an entire generation. Like so many of his generation, a man by the name of Thomas contracted HIV. He died leaving his wife, Benta, and three daughters destitute and alone. Benta was fortunate to have a place to live, though it was little more than a mud hut with no electricity or running water. Working odd jobs she […]

Go Forth & Feed My People

It is instilled in all of us to live and, in order to do so, we seek the things pertinent to our survival: breathing, shelter, water and sustenance. There is nothing as troubling as going without these necessities. Just as a fish without water, a child without food suffocates. In the Bible there are numerous accounts of Christ feeding his people and offering to us the ability to do the same. This can be taken in one of two ways. We can literally offer food to those who are without and we can also offer the word of God to […]
