Registration is now open for the Easter term intensive course on holistic mission at Trinity House. The course will be held at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Birmingham, March 17-21, 2014.
The goal of missions is to build holistic, sustainable, and self-propagating Christian communities, or to use the Biblical idiom, to build the City of God. In our globalized world where urban populations now exceed rural ones, and where over a billion people live in shanty towns in extreme poverty, we believe that ministering as Jesus did, accompanying the sound and vigorous preaching of the Gospel with a passionate engagement in ministries of mercy and justice, will result in the growth of the kingdom of God.
In this course, Rev. Wes Baker, drawing on years of mission experience in Peru, will outline a biblical theology for holistic mission at home and abroad.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
