Hey, here’s the newest summer projects video, hot off the presses…
Jackie gives gives her two cents on the video “7 Mts of Culture.”
A group of Christians are going to be visiting the Islamic Center of San Diego Thursday evening March 11, 2010. If you are going to be in the SD area that evening, you are welcome to join us for this free event.
Perhaps you are simply curious, maybe you even have a diversity requirement for a course–either way, join us for this eye-opening and wonderfully relational event.

Hey, if you’re in the SF Bay Area this Saturday Feb 20th, we have heard about 2 different (and really great) events on Islam. Come check them out!
1) 8am-12:30pm. The first event is a seminar featuring a global expert on Muslim issues, Dr. Don McCurry. McCurry is the author of such books as Healing the Broken Family of Abraham. The seminar topic is “What Muslims are Doing to Jesus and What Jesus is Doing in the Muslim World.” This half-day seminar will be at Centerville Presbyterian Church. Cost is only a $5 donation and registration will be in the dining room from 8-9. Advance notice is appreciated (call 510-793-3575).
2) 4pm-6pm. The second event is a movie and discussion in Downtown Oakland. The film, Inside Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think is based on a Gallup poll and is not a religious film, although the event is sponsored by the Muslim Association. Here is a link to the trailer for the film. Tickets cost $10 for students (they’re bringing in a big named speaker). It should be a good opportunity to learn some of the real statistics, hear a good discussion, and get a chance to visit a local mosque. For more info and to purchase tickets go here.
Jen gives an informative (and unforgettable) intro to this news service that will keep you up to date with info on this emerging world power.
Go. Live. Serve.
Merge your education, career, and ministry. This is a site for Christians who want to pursue God’s calling for their lives. We are a sending agency committed to global outreach. We mobilize, equip and send committed Christian students and professionals to serve and reach the unreached in the megacities of the 10/40 Window through short-term programs as well as more extended commitment of two years and beyond.
Go short-term. Go long-term. Just go.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
Tent-making
Tentmakers are ambassadors for Christ, self-supporting like the apostle Paul, who made tents for a living. Tentmaking provides both work and ministry platforms. By doing a good job, tentmakers contribute to society and demonstrate how Christian values are lived out in the real world. By reaching out to their colleagues, they have natural connections with local people, who are part of their everyday lives. Professions can provide good entry points to places that do not welcome traditional missionaries. Learn more.
Why go with a sending agency?
Tentmaking is challenging. As a missions-minded professional, you are called to do your work well and minister to other people, while adjusting to life in a foreign culture. The support of a like-minded community that understands the demands of your bi-vocational calling helps you to stay on course. Joining an agency offers you career counseling, pre-departure orientation, local support and accountability, on-going professional networking, pastoral care and mentoring through retreats, personal visits, prayer and regular email communications.
