Living in honesty before God is to live knowing that while man sees above the surface of our lives God sees everything. Nothing about us is hidden from Him. (Luke 8:17; 12:2)

If you're feeling like your church needs that extra something to get you out of the routine, consider setting aside time for your church to seek and respond to God. Life Action Church Events are designed to invite your congregation toward transformation. Learn more at lifeaction.org/life-action-c…

Here are two quick reminders for those of you who may be dealing with discouragement in ministry right now: 1. God is with you. (Deuteronomy 31:6–8; Hebrews 13:5-6) 2. Ministry colleagues are with you. (Acts 20:17-38; 2 Corinthians 7:5-6) Take heart Jesus will not be stopped!

Be encouraged today with this message from our President, John Avant (@johnavant), on our 5th Response to God: Obedience. lifeaction.org/obedience-fif…

Compassion was the response of our Lord to the world around Him. Let us walk in kindness, humility, meekness, patience with compassion to the world around us.

Are you a missionary, a Christian cross-cultural worker, or a pastor or ministry leader who works with people from a different cultural background than you? We’ve got something for you. The Coracle Readiness Program is designed to experientially equip cross-cultural workers, pastors, and ministry teams with a practical Jesus way of self-development and holistic thriving. One of the biggest issues facing missionaries and pastors is personal, family, and team meltdown. Through our experience-driven training, discover a Christ-centered way to not only become resilient under stress but to actually metabolize stress and turn it into increased capacity. This year will feature our 5D Thrive Conference, accompanied by helpful pre- and post-conference electives that will dive deep into topics such as language acquisition, cultural intelligence, relational intelligence, and ministering in Muslim contexts. Join this Coracle cohort and find a renewed sense of purpose and a greater understanding of how to effectively serve those around you.

Be encouraged by this truth today: "You are the high and lofty One, who inhabits eternity, whose name is holy. You live in a high and holy place but also with those who are contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the hearts of the contrite." Is. 57:15

Life Action Labor Day Family Camp was a success! A great way to end our Summer Family Camp season. It was a blessing to be able to serve families from Transformation Ministries this week. Head over to Facebook for the video recap of the week! Link below 👇 facebook.com/lifeactionfamil…

#AGodStory A Story from Family Camp John and Donna Avant were teaching at Life Action Family camp several years ago about how the local church needs to become known for our love and not just our opposition. One principle they shared was that if a church was going to be pro-life, they needed to actively support and care for children within the foster care system. One of the couples listening embraced that challenge. Upon returning home, they began to pray for God to open doors to serve foster children. God answered that prayer! The next year at Life Action Family Camp, they introduced their foster child to John and Donna and to all the other families at Family Camp. This couple shared how blessed they were to be able to provide a safe, loving place for this child. Furthermore, they are now praying about adoption. We celebrate God answering the prayers of this couple and their YES to God as they love and care for this child. Testimonies like this challenge us all to be known for love as we serve sacrificially and care for the most vulnerable. Let's be known for our love for others! #LifeInAction #LovingLikeJesus #Church #LivingLikeChristians #ChristLikeLove #LivingLikeChrist #LifeAction #Testimonies

“The Church must be seen as the company of pilgrims on the way to the end of the world and the ends of the earth.” Leslie Newbingen

#AGodStory A Wedding Ring Story Many people donate in-kind gifts to Life Action. They donate items of value that we can use or sell to support the ministry work God is doing here. When a woman heard that we accept in-kind gifts, she offered her wedding ring. She told us that her marriage was about to be over and that she wanted to support our ministry. We paused with her first to pray for her marriage, because we know that God’s heart is restoration, repentance, and healing in marriage. We prayed for God to save her marriage, and we encouraged her to keep the ring. However, she wanted to give it to us. We told her we would hold onto it, should God move in her marriage. We kept it in a safe until the day she called us back. She did, in fact, call us back months later and ask if we happened to still have the ring. God had restored their marriage. We celebrated with her that God had answered the prayers we’d prayed with her so many months prior. Take some time to pray with us today for all the marriages God wants to restore. Pray for healthy communication in marriages. Pray for selflessness, Christ-centeredness, and biblical truth to permeate marriages. “God, please send revival, and let it start with me.” #Marriage #Revival #Testimonies #GodMoves

The sweetest sound in all of creation is the praise of the created. Let our voices rise to worship our Maker in holy gratitude for our redemption and hope through Christ!
