To have a role in bringing the Kingdom of Christ to others is amazing and humbling, and you can play a part in this story as well. It takes all of us to bring His message to His people.

A GOD STORY For people who believe in Miracles. And for people who need to! This book chronicles divine intervention and provision by our incredible and indescribable God. It allows us to experience, albeit vicariously, a world and a country few of us have ever, or will ever visit. We will find ourselves in African villages, torrential downpours, prayer meetings, malnutrition centers, huts, worship meetings, church dedication services and living rooms. We will be brought to laughter and tears, brokenness and victory. We will have our hearts broken and our faith challenged. It is doubtful that we will ever view missions, missionaries or God the same ever again. And that is good. That is very good. Lynn Kennedy is the missionary/founder of Shattering Darkness Ministries, an evangelical church-planting ministry in West Africa. Lynn resides full-time in Burkina Faso.

Study the book of James!
In the second chapter, James makes it clear that people who claim to be Christians but who fail to help poverty stricken fellow believers are in fact NOT saved.
Christians in North America give, on average, 2.5 percent of their income to the church. Out of that 2.5 percent, churches in North America will give 2 percent of their budgeted monies to needs overseas. In other words, for every one hundred dollars a North American Christian earns, he will give five cents through the church to a world with urgent spiritual and physical needs.
"Abraham had faith in God, and God was pleased with him." That's how Abraham became God's friend. James 2:23
