Empowering “Poor” Churches to Make a Difference in Their Communities
“God is calling us—all of us—to invest in our communities for His sake. No matter how limited our resources might be, we always have something to offer in Christ’s name.”
This challenge was issued by Bob Moffitt of Harvest Foundation. His audience? A group of pastors and Christian leaders from what are known as restricted-access countries. Bob was speaking at a special conference hosted by A3 leaders in (you guessed it) a restricted-access country, so we will not mention names or locations. Seed Projects is how Bob labels his vision. According to Bob, ...

When you get on the ground in the Third World, you can find tragedy in nearly every nook and cranny—and also God’s care at work, through the kindness of His people.
We saw this up close on a recent visit to an A3 session in what we call a restricted-access country (which is why I’m supplying no names or location). After the A3 session concluded, Pastor “Joseph” took Kyle and me on a sightseeing and people-meeting time in the area. One of the stops we made was to his church; there, we met a family from a nearby Muslim-majority country. Muhammad, his wife Ilya, and their 7-year-old son Ishmael (not their real names) shared a chilling testimony...
