John and Jesus, Miracle Children

December 15, 2018

God Has Spoken

December 14, 2018

Christmas Devotional ECS Radio Mark Word to the World

God had not spoken for over four hundred years. He had warned Israel about dispersion, about being without king or prince (Hosea 3:4), and so it was. But an eternal plan was being executed with precision. Daniel had prophesied of a series of world empires ...

Reflections on the Global Strategy Conference

November 08, 2018

Connection

The 2018 Emmaus Global Strategy Conference was an absolute treat to be a part of. Convened in the ideally positioned Hohegrete Christian Retreat Center not far from Cologne, Germany, this “get together” of many of the Emmaus country directors and associates had so many benefits.
