Joel Van Dyke, a missionary who works in Guatemala’s slums and prisons, helps urban missions graduate students flesh out [...]

TribalChurch on raising money
Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I don’t know if other ministers have this problem, but like most ministerial burdens, this one is also a blessing. In a middle-class church like mine, [...]
