I asked Jess if there were Christians in his part of China. He said, “No religion.” His home was near the place where they found the Terra Cotta Warriors. I told him about our ministry, that we were Christians who found our hope in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, and that, with faith in Him, we had the promise of heaven. I gave him a bracelet and asked if I...

He knew God had a calling on his life. He later testified, "It was like the Holy Spirit tied a rope around my waist and pulled me forward."

Years ago, Ploy came to me at camp (attending as a student), having decided life was not worth living anymore, as depressed as I’ve ever seen a person, looking for a way out...

Walking into the room felt like stepping into a family reunion I didn’t know I needed. Yet the moment our eyes met across the room, it was pure joy. Hug after hug, laughter after laughter, stories picking up exactly where they had left off. Honestly, it made me think: this must be what heaven will feel like.

Listening to Francis’ Chan’s book, "Letters to the Church," he casually mentioned how a group of his friends got together and read the entire Bible in three days. My ears perked up; that sounded cool! But that little seed planted in my heart sprouted a lot faster than I was anticipating.

It’s midnight, and the retreat center is quiet. Most of its inhabitants are sleeping peacefully when a taxi pulls in and four Ecuadorians come bounding out—smiles wide, laughter ringing out, and palpable excitement echoing off the brick walls of the compound.

“Ok, God. This must be some kind of cruel joke, right? You are not actually asking me to do this are you?” With tears in my eyes I argued with God as I stood looking at these two bedraggled widows standing in front of their make-shift homes on the side of a ravine.

Zoya narrowly escaped being trafficked when her parents were approached with a proposition: a couple was looking to purchase a girl to be their daughter. Traffickers frequently use tactics like these to prey upon desperate families. They trick girls and their parents and then sell those girls into slavery.
“We are ambassadors for Christ!” (1 Corinthians 5:20) This August, we are excited to introduce you to our 2024 Ends of the Earth Cycling Ambassadors. They have been featured on our social media channels, and now they will be featured on the Stories of Impact Blog in two installments.
We live in a broken world where it’s too east to find individuals who are lost, searching, and without hope. In the action sports world (surfing, skateboarding, wakeboarding) this couldn’t be more true. The action sports community is full of negativity: drugs, alcohol, partying, and rebellion. Roughly 120 million youth
God can work through the strangest of things… If you were to ask me, “What is a Virtual Bike Ride?” you would not be the first. I had heard of riding indoors because it is snowing outside, but a virtual bike ride that impacts youth around the world? Who knew
