“For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God who said ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” II Corinthians 4:5-6

From every Tribe, Language, Nation, and People...including Palestine


Derek Rishmawy wrote a short, yet powerful piece for the Gospel Coalition Blog. In his article, Rishmawy says the following:

"...The tangle of ethnicity, Middle East politics, and eschatology in American evangelicalism won't be easily solved. But what concerns me—and ought to concern you—is whether we in the church have the proper zeal to carry the gospel, in word and deed, to all nations and peoples. Do we see all people as Abraham's potential heirs? Even Ishmael's alleged descendants? In generations past and in different parts of the globe, the church has forgotten, excluded, or considered differing ethnic or cultural groups to be beyond the gospel's reach. This must not be the case with our Arab and Palestinian neighbors today."
