January is three quarters done and you’ve made it to another weekend. Use wisely.

You should read these

1. Christian missionaries target the birthplace of Buddha in Nepal. South Korea is driving missions especially in Asia.

From the archives

Furniture buying for church planters: “So while not everything is missional, setting up your home for hospitality, friendship and having people in it, most definitely is. If you kit out your home so it works for just your family you’ve not been thinking properly about what you’re doing or the importance of your home in doing it.”

Enjoy your weekend.
