Building a bridge for Muslims

The latest Movements podcast is an interview with Kevin Greeson, author of The Camel. He describes a simple method of identifying Muslims who would like to know more about Isa (Jesus).

This just came in from a friend somewhere in Asia. Hi Steve We leave for a trip tonight. Looking forward to it. Will visit many mosques and share the gospel with whomever we can. I looked at your blog this morning and saw you have something on the Camel. You might be interested to know [...]

Tank you Jesus!

Jeff Sundell just sent me this photo of a front yard baptism of a new believer. It’s driving me nuts because he didn’t tell me the story behind it. On the other hand if you look at the image long enough it will tell its own story. We spend far too much time talking about [...]

Neil was the pastor of a growing church who found himself preoccupied with “butts on seats” rather than making disciples. Enter Jeff Sundell who had spent ten years in India and Nepal learning [...]

It’s only five minutes but you will be amazed by what you hear. Download the mp3 or subscribe to the movements podcast. Neil was a [...]

Father [...]

Catholic church sacks Father Kennedy. Father Kennedy sacks Jesus.

At the end of a long dispute the Catholic church has finally decided to excommunicate Father Kennedy. Two years ago the Socialist Alliance posters outside St Mary’s Catholic Church in Brisbane said it all. “Dump Intolerance, not Father Kennedy.” “Who would Jesus sack?” The father in question is Peter Kennedy, the 70-year-old Catholic priest who [...]
