    Exposure to the news cycle these days, particularly regarding the climate crisis and biodiversity loss, often elicits dread and whiffs of doom. It also consistently lacks one element vital to human flourishing and transformation: hope. However, hope was flowing in abundance at the Global Creation Care Forum (GCCF) that took place September 28-October 2, 2024. Around 110 people from 40 countries, coming from varied occupations and backgrounds, gathered at the Somang Retreat Centre in Gonjiam, Korea immediately after the 4th Lausanne Congress finished.

    Even though Azerbaijan holds the Presidency, the outcomes of COP29 are considered a joint effort with the preceding and subsequent COPs (COP28’s UAE and COP30’s Brazil). The COP Troika, as it is being called, is working closely together by jointly planning for the complicated negotiations in each of the three COPs.

    The Second Mark of Mission: a ‘Game Changer’

    “I thank all the western missionaries that have brought the gospel to Africa since 1910 and planted churches. Yet, this hasn’t stopped corruption, tribalism and even genocide (Rwanda), promiscuity (HIV/Aids) and other evils. Yes, in one hundred years they made a lot of believers and a lot of Church goers. But they forgot … to make disciples.”

  • Hope under Pressure
    Hope under Pressure

    Europe feels tense. Russia is testing NATO and the fear of war on our continent is no longer an abstract scenario but a daily news item. At the same time, internal polarisation is increasing. Right-wing extremism and violence are becoming bolder—as seen in the riots in The Hague on Saturday, 22 September. The combination of external threats and internal divisions weighs heavily on the hearts of many Europeans. For many, the word “hope” seems fragile, even naïve.

    Editorial – The power of relationships in times of hope under pressure

    When I think of relationships, I first think about the first one we read about in the Bible. The relationship between the Godhead. “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…” Genesis 1:26. This relationship is followed quickly by a second relationship in Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’

    According to the latest Gallup study – a large-scale, ongoing survey that tracks public opinion and well-being across the globe – the greatest need people express today is hope.

    The Miracle of Hope: A Gift for Ukraine

    Alexander Pope’s line still speaks across the centuries, especially in times like ours—marked by war, upheaval, and deep uncertainty. The truth of it is being tested in Ukraine more than anywhere else in Europe today. What is it that causes Ukrainians—bombed, displaced, bereaved—to continue believing, rebuilding, resisting, and praying? How can hope still survive such devastation?

    Hope under Pressure – the Ukrainian perspective

    Despite the daily threat of shelling, the Kherson Pentecostal Church had a water baptism on the first Sunday of August for those willing proclaim their faith publicly and to enter into a covenant with the Lord. It was not possible to use the Dnipro River, as it was before the war. The ceremony took place in a specially equipped, festively decorated pool located in a churchyard of Kherson safer district.

    Hope under pressure – Prayer Perspective

    When I found a sailboat at my disposal as a teenage boy, I found no greater pleasure in it than to fight alone with the element of wind and water in very rough weather.  I really enjoyed sailing as close to the wind as possible.  When there was a great gust of wind, it sometimes happened that my boat capsized and I had to try to get the boat back up.

    Welcome to June! This month we leave Spring behind and enter Summer. It has been a long and challenging year, and summer has it’s own set of challenges. While some things get quieter, other things get busier – camps, kid’s programs, less human resources in church (logistic challenges). It is also the time that we usually try and fit in our holiday, to get a break from the hectic pace of the other seasons.
