Wow. Check out what Dr. Gibson is working on for his Boyer Chair appointment. The church needs more scholars like this. We are all looking forward to his research. @defatonement @davidngibbo
The best missiological strategy I've found for reaching lost people in Colorado:
Expositional preaching

Also, nicely illustrates what I've been saying over the past year: "Lockdown does not mean lay down".

The upheaval of 2020 didn’t stop God from using #acts29 to plant 25 new churches around the world last year.
We're excited to share this new video today, highlighting the work of Acts 29 & our churches, globally, as we continue working in 2021!
