The Gospel Comes with a House Key

I'm at the end of the audio book The Gospel Comes with a House Key and I can't recommend it enough. Rosaria Butterfield wrote this book to  share how she and her husband sought to live their lives on mission through the vehicle of hospitality. The audiobook is really interesting because Rosaria is the reader, which gives the book a unique personal feel, especially as she sings the Psalms shared in several of her stories. This could be a great tool for giving your people an illustration of how it is biblical hospitality can and should function in the life of the church and the rhythms of the daily life for a Christian.

Church Multiplication Sunday

Here's a video that was used to promote our recent invitation to prayer for the multiplication of churches in the Evangelical Free Church of America. Many of the churches in this video are part of the Forest Lakes District. Thankful for all God is doing in this association of churches!
