Men's Advance lead-team director, Russ Baley, shares a re-cap of the powerful time shared by those who enjoyed a full weekend at Men's Advance the 1st weekend in March. 
 
"What an awesome time at Men's Advance this year. Best selling author and speaker Rick Johnson addressed men with authentic and sometimes gut-wrenching honesty. Rick challenged us to lead the families God gave us. He called us to be committed...

“My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me. Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me. I said, ‘Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm’” (Psalm 55:4-8).

The loss of a loved one is not something one gets over. Tim...

GC19 was an incredible time of worship, encouragement and networking with other ministers from across the globe!

This is Trevor Owen from Mission Catalyst and I wanted to remind you of the upcoming Free Methodist trips this summer. In conjunction with GC19 (General Conference - Orlando, FL), our denomination will be running trips to 4 different destinations simultaneously in July -- and I would love to see you join one of them.

Personally, I will be leading the trip to the Dominican Republic, so I am, of course, biased toward it and would...

Last year we saw the radical impact of making space for 192 people at our table & family celebrations.  This...

When I was young child, God put Africa in my heart.  I was sent to Zambia through the Peace Corps nine years ago.  When my contract of three years finished, God asked me to stay in the town of Mansa to help children and young girls.  I always knew we would plant a church here in Mansa Zambia at some point but I did not know it would happens this fast!   I work with Pastor Francis Mwansa who is a local pastor here in Mansa. He...

Here is yet another story of God’s provision at Cascade View FMC in Sublimity this month, that simply cannot be overlooked. In Pastor Paul Starkey’s words.... “It all started with a baked potato!”

Jenna went to a local food truck to order a meal, the owner shared that an empty school in Portland was opening its doors (literally!) to non-profits who could remove and put to good use any of the remaining furniture and fixtures bef...
