Hillsong United’s music-and-message film, We’re All in This Together, launches in U.S. theaters tomorrow. It promises to be a potent rallying cry to the Church to make faith visible in Christ-like service to orphans, widows and others at the margin. As their website explains: Hillsong United began in suburban Sydney, Australia, as a bunch of […]

Notes from the Road Two: More Signs of Stirring
While traveling for the Alliance Board meeting, several other experiences added to my ever-growing sense that God is stirring hearts across the country to reflect His heart for orphans. I had the privilege of joining a gathering of the Middle Tennessee Alliance for Orphans. The group brings together a dozen or so churches in the […]

The Alliance semi-annual Board meeting last week in Nashville left me with an overwhelming sense of what a privilege it is to get to ride in a boat when a whole team is working the oars in unison…and God is the one blowing in the sails. From 8 AM to 5 PM, the Board sat […]
