Protection is a Must for Churches
It is estimated that one out of every four girls and one out of six boys will experience some form of sexual abuse by age 18. Churches cannot expect to remain unaffected by this problem. Implementing safety and security policies for children is no longer an option for churches. The mental, emotional and spiritual development of children is at stake. Ensure that your church is a loving and safe environment for children to grow in their relationship with their Lord and His church.

International World Changers Spread the Word to Greece's Immigrants
Tourists snap pictures and shoot video as 60 International World Changers hold an impromptu praise and worship service atop Mars Hill in Athens, Greece. As the students’ voices carry across the city of 4 million, an Iranian man on the fringes of the crowd presses forward to ask for a copy of the song lyrics. “Do you understand what is going on?” asks Jerry Johnson, Baptist Collegiate Ministries senior minister for Georgia Southern University. “Yes, you are Christians,” the man replies.

Is Jesus The Only Way
A report by the Pew Research Center revealed some interesting stats: 57 percent of the evangelical surveyed reported believing that "many religions can lead to eternal life." But that result was not as surprising as another: 21 percent of those who identified themselves as "atheist" said they believe in a God or universal spirit. One must wonder whether many of those polled understood what it means to be an evangelical or an atheist. I also suspect that Kelly Boggs is correct that many evangelicals confused the term "religion" with "denomination" -- which, if true, casts doubt on the validity of the 57 percent figure.
