Few will argue that 2020 was a difficult year. 

After the initial waves of COVID-19, general buzz on the internet was that the pandemic was hitting people harder than we’d realized it might, even if they never caught the virus. Now studies are substantiating our sense of the impact.

Gary and Kelly Wilkerson visited Romania only three months after the fall of the country’s dictator. There, they were introduced to a desperate problem. Dozens of babies were being left at hospitals, where overwhelmed staff were unable to care for them. These children’s living situation was unbearable, and Gary and Kelly knew they had to act. This is the story of rescue, redemption and the birth of the Sanctuary Foundation.

God is all powerful. No barriers exist between what he wills and it being accomplished. Believers may easily agree with this view, but few understand the true significance of it for their relationship with God.

In part of two of this series on the evidence for Christ, Evan Wilkerson shows us credible sources outside the Bible that confirm Jesus walked this earth, none of which were favorable towards Christians or supported that Jesus is God. Through this evidence we see proof Jesus did exist and can confidently proclaim that we serve a risen King!

Kelly Wilkerson shares the story of one of thousands transformed through evangelistic outreaches that she and Gary have worked in throughout the years. World Challenge conferences always seek partnership with local churches who can disciple and walk alongside new believers, and this can make all the difference for someone who is venturing forth into a new life in Christ.

A 50th anniversary is often called the golden anniversary. It’s a befitting milestone for World Challenge which was founded on a life-long passion to reach the lost and help the suffering.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.

He is never closer than in our trials

I want to share with you two verses from Helen Spurrell’s translation of the original Hebrew text: “When designing pursuers approached me, who are far from thy law; then thou, O Jehovah, wast near, with all thy faithful commandments” (Psalm 119:150-151).

After Jesus was taken up to heaven, the apostle John received a magnificent vision of glory. He said, “I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it.
