  • Taking Confucian spirituality seriously (by Ping-cheung Lo)

    Asia

    When I was a young Christian, I was told by a well-respected pastor and seminary teacher that there are two views on the composition of a human being: dichotomy (body and spirit), or trichotomy (body, soul, and spirit). The spirit is that part of our being that can get connected with God. That explains why churches, Chinese churches in particular, are fond of the words “spiritual” (屬靈) and “spirituality” (靈性、靈命). 

  • Unreached People Groups: Going together where we can’t go alone

    Africa

    As many as 3,000 communities representing more than 200 million people remain with little or no knowledge of Jesus and little to no visible and indigenous church presence. The majority of these Unreached and Unengaged People Groups (UUPGs) live in parts of the world where Christian faith is prohibited, restricted, or suppressed. Sharing the gospel in these environments is challenging at best.

Jeff Fountain, director of The Schuman Centre for European Studies, emphasizes the importance of prayer and practical help as before, but also highlights that it is critical to prepare for the future aftermath.
