Team Gambia

Four students, each of whom were in my classes at Western Christian College this past academic year, are in the Republic of The Gambia, for six weeks on a Let’s Start Talking mission trip. Kendra, Corinne, Justin, and Trevor are the first ever LST team to go to the Gambia.

They are providing regular updates at their LST Gambia 2010 blog and it appears that they are having a great time while sharing the story of Jesus with the residents of Bakau.

Why Social Justice is a Hot Topic in Churches

The college team at Western Christian College, of which I am a member, is researching the viability and marketability of a certificate or diploma program in Christian Social Justice.

In that regard, the video below is Dr. Joel Hunter’s musings on the question as to why social justice has become such a hot topic among Christians. Hunter, Senior Pastor of Northland Church in Orlando, Florida, has been named by Grist Magazine as one of the top 15 religious environmental leaders in the world, along with the Pope and the Dali Lama.
