Granting Peace

July 19, 2018

"Life in Uganda is often about survival."

Corruption, pagan worship, false prophets: the threats to the Uganda church are vast. But the hope is certain. We are privileged to be able to support the work of the gospel and the peace it is bringing to the churches in Africa. Scripture makes it clear that our confidence lies not in missionaries, organizations or even education, but in the biblical truth of the gospel these efforts seek to establish.

GCF: Grizzly Christian Fellowship

Few times in our lives are more formative than our college years.

College demands our focus. For some it consumes our relationships, others our free time, and even more, our dreams. But often our faith is left undeveloped and undervalued. Yet Jesus' mission includes our college years, so we need to learn to fight for a better narrative.
