Ramez Attallah of the Bible Society Egypt answers the question. 

How to use the word 'amen' wisely.

How to be effective in disciple-making in the twenty-first century.

The reality we have to face is that we are not immune to such struggles.

In some churches those “in ministry” are expected to have it all together… so there may be nobody to talk to.

More than 350 attended the first Wales Leadership Forum conference. Chris Street: “Current generations know very little or nothing about the Bible and who Jesus is”.

And adventure camp is the first part of a Czech training programme for Christians aged 13 to 17. “Pastors and Christian leaders shared with them stories of their calling and lives”.

Vaughan Roberts speaks from 25 years of ministry experience to share four lessons on staying the course as a Christian, despite ongoing battles with the world, the flesh, and the devil.

His work is a model of Biblical balance, in the best meaning of the word.

“The Forum is the best training event I've seen in Europe in the last 20-25 years”, says Prof. John Lennox. The morning Bible teacher will be Peter J. Williams, Principal and CEO of Tyndale House.

Lindsay Brown closed the European Leadership Forum in Poland challenging participants to recover the centrality of the gospel and strengthen the mission of carrying the message of Christ to the ends of the Earth.

20 suggestions for a better connection between preacher and listeners.

Church leaders are usually “at the limit of their emotional and spiritual resources”, says José Hutter, theologian and pastor in Spain. A national seminar will address the challenges of Christian leadership. 

Without careful and disciplined action, the church’s theology and practice of mission will be impoverished.

Spanish group Evangelicals in Economy and Business organises conference for business leaders. Meeting regularly with fellow believers is “vitally important”, says experienced businessman Peter Briscoe.

John Piper: “Donald Trump’s immoral behavior in the past, and his ongoing unwillingness to renounce it as evil, show that he is morally unfit to lead our nation.”

Today, we might comfortably discuss ministry by, even under, but especially from leaders with disabilities.

A new generation of African younger leaders is rising to the challenge of missions.
