Great resources to help participation!

With now 100 million forcibly displaced peoples in the world, will you, your family, your church, and your small group join the global community, June 19 or 26th in praying for refugees? Great resources to assist are at: philoiglobal.org/wrs2022/. Please help us get the word out!

"David and Six Giants: the Power of Example," by Lubo Hlavacka, an excellent look at how examples can work in our lives. A post on the REACT Services collaborative Blog. reactservices.wordpress.com

My latest thoughts on Movements (part one) as they relate to partnering. How do they move again? What are their characteristics? Thoughts, ideas and critiques welcome (respectful ones, of course). reactservices.wordpress.com

There are few children more vulnerable or at risk than those within the forcibly displaced peoples. Please encourage all to join the movement of prayer this June. #WRS2021 @WEANews @RefugeeHighway

With the release of the 2021 World Watch List, researchers from @RLPartnership member @OpenDoors also identify and outline five major trends in #persecution against Christians. Check it out in our news archive. rlpartnership.org/news/

Are you are listener? Our friend and colleague, Todd Poulter challenges us with some very helpful thoughts. reactservices.wordpress.com/2020/12/14/a-s…

A budding pianist approached Leonard Bernstein and begged the famous conductor to mentor him. The brilliant Mr. Bernstein responded, “Tell me what you want to do and I will tell you whether or not you are doing it.” Only a master can offer that gift. oneh.pe/9ui

Great piece by my good friend and colleague, Jose de Dios of @wycliffeusa, on how we need to engage all parts of the Body! reactservices.wordpress.com

Philip Jenkins has written for the Gospel Coalition: "As the century proceeds, Christianity will become ever more markedly a religion of Africa and the African diaspora. African numerical dominance within the faith will arrive sooner." thegospelcoalition.org/article/future…

Growth? Staggering. Problem? Seemingly intractable. Answers? Fleeting at best. This is why World Refugee Sunday (which some have extended to the entire month of June) is so critically important. Will your church, your family join in praying? Resources: refugeehighway.net/world-refugee-…

Exceptionally helpful. I would also encourage the additional value of collaboration in the overhaul. Not only can partnering help in the elimination of corruption, but also in the reduction of duplication which leads to greater effectiveness.

In cultures that have bred distrust for centuries, it is easier said than done and Mr. Behaj offers little in pratical steps. In addition, for him to say "the region has under-performed for years, if not decades, in the transparency department," is the understatement of the year.

Very insightful thoughts by our friend & colleague, Habib C. Malik on the unique contributions and role of Lebanese Christians in the greater Middle East in an interview/conversation with @rwnicholson of the @philosproject. From @ProvMagazine. providencemag.com/2020/03/lebane…

Exceptional piece by @nytdavidbrooks, & relevant for those "thinking partnering!" One excerpt: "Human beings didn’t evolve into the world’s dominant species because we are more autonomous....We thrived as a species because we are better at cooperation." nytimes.com/2020/01/30/opi…

Think that the persecution of Christians is often ignored in the media? @DrPaulMarshall, Baylor Professor & Senior Fellow of the Hudson Institute assesses & unpacks some of the reasons why in this insightful interview by @EdwardPentin in the @NCRegister. ncregister.com/daily-news/bay…
