Letter from the Director Winfield Bevins:

 

Greetings,

The last few months have brought seismic changes. One thing is for certain; we live in a different world than we did a few months ago, and things may never return to the way they were.  We cannot hope to make sense of things by using our old maps. Continuing to use maps that helped make sense of our previous world will only lead to greater confusion. In this historic moment, we live between an old worldview that no longer works for a Christendom formation model, and a new worldview that seems too bizarre to contemplate. We need a new GPS to navigate the realities of the world we are in. 

We pray that these resources and opportunities will equip you with a new navigation system to fulfill God’s mission wherever in the world you are called to serve.  

Blessings!
