A Message for Albania

In Albania, believers are experiencing God in transformative ways. Meet three people using In Touch resources to satisfy a hunger for spiritual truth.

His Heart for the Homeless

Dolly knows what it is to be in need. This is why she feels compassion for those that experience homelessness in her community. And why she’s trusting God to help her make a small difference.

Exploring More – Grace

Grace is far more than a concept introduced by Paul and the New Testament writers; it is a characteristic of God that spans the entirety of Scripture.

Pilgrimage

A Prodigal's Mother

Cindy’s son had a crippling drug addiction. Its consequences ruined her finances and nearly took her life. When she was at her lowest, God gave her hope. In Christ’s power, mother and son fight on together.

Exploring More — Ephesus

The city of Ephesus, in modern-day Turkey, was a significant player in its day. Yet it was no match for the power of the gospel. As Jesus was proclaimed, transformation followed, and an important church came into being.

Exploring More – Tetelestai

In a moment of finality that echoes throughout the ages, Jesus shouted, “Tetelestai” from the cross. Christ’s sacrifice for sin was complete, and the sin debt of all believers was satisfied.

Heart of Worship
