Prayer Requests:
Pray for wisdom in how to best communicate the rich truth about what Christ has done for us.
Pray that rather than the cultural issues being a barrier to understanding the fullness of the Gospel, they would only increase the amazement that Kenyans feel as they become aware of what it means to be the sons and daughters of the King of Kings!
That there would be unity, encouragement, and conviction to pray for each other among all those involved in World Harvest Mission throughout the world.
That God would bless and strengthen their marriage
That their ministries would thrive and bear much fruit.
That God would give them wisdom in all their work.

truthXchange – Dr. Peter Jones
Our name, truthXchange comes from something the Apostle Paul wrote to a church in first-century Rome, when the Pax Romana (imperial social harmony) claimed to unify the known world in peace and prosperity. Paul wanted Christians in his time to understand their culture, so they would know how to talk about the gospel of God to their neighbors and friends. Paul affirms counter-culturally that Roman society, however enjoyable for many, was based on a false premise. He speaks of the great exchange: human beings in rebellion “exchange the truth of God for the lie and worship and serve the creation rather than the Creator” (Romans 1:25).
With a major flaw at its base—the sinful human heart—our well-intentioned utopian hope can quickly become hell on earth, as did the Roman utopia for Christians.
TruthXchange seeks to unpack what Paul meant in his day and what his words mean for our day. Whether spirituality comes from the inside or the outside makes a huge difference in everything we do and think. Are we alone in this vast impersonal cosmos, making our own rules, evolving (we hope) for the good of all? Or, are we part of a vast, intelligently made universe that is the work of a personal, distinct and glorious Creator, who has reached down in the redeeming love of Jesus to rescue us from ourselves? The implications of Paul’s analysis are volcanic.
Dr. Jones is the author of many books, including “Capturing the Pagan Mind: Pauls Blueprint for Thinking and Living in the New Global Culture” and “Gospel Truth/Pagan Lies: Can You Tell the Difference”
