Speed of sound
Bad news travels fast. Mass shootings in America are heard about in remote villages on the other side of the world. Plane crashes in remote reaches are learned about – and stressed about – soon after they happen. If only the Good News could travel as quickly.

The Bridge
Suspension (or hanging) bridges are everywhere in Nepal. It’s the only way across deep ravines and raging rivers. For some, a suspension bridge can be intimidating, even a little scary. For others, it is simply the route that God wants us to take.
30 Days of prayer for the persecuted and the persecutors in the Muslim world
Ramadan, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is the holy month of prayer, fasting, and reflecting on God. It begins at sundown April 2 and continues until sunset on May 1. We are going to pray our way through this month for Climbing For Christ members living and working in persecuted Muslim countries. But we’re also going to pray for those who persecute our brothers and sisters in Christ.
