By John Godson August 2006 In the history of the Church there have been times of supernatural visitations that have led to multitudes repenting from their sins and Christians rededicating their lives to God in radical obedience and deeper intimacy.

By Lon Allison September 2005 It is with great joy and hopeful expectation that we bring you the premier edition of Lausanne World Pulse (LWP).

By Greg Forney It would take more fingers than I have to count all the times one of my boys has fallen down and skinned his knee, arm or other appendage. In more serious crashes (meaning it involves crying and an initial hysteria that cannot be soothed by words or hugs), the only possible cure […]
By Dave Koenig April 2006 Many missionaries dedicate their lives to sharing the gospel. They may even sacrifice all other dreams for this high calling. So how on earth could I not sacrifice a few months and use my abilities as a web programmer to help contribute to the global missions effort? This was the […]
July 2006 Overview Did you know that many peoples in the eleven nations of Southeast Asia were once Hindus, later Buddhists and today Muslim?

By Lon Allison October / November 2013 I completed a first read of several of the articles in this issue of Lausanne World Pulse just a few minutes ago.

By Walt Wilson November 2008 We are the first generation in all of human history to hold in our hands the technology to reach every man, woman, and child on earth. Although the product price points are not yet in place, this is not a distant dream. It is a current reality. Market forces in […]
By Doug Birdsall “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

By Rev. Canon Andrew White November 2008 In 2007, we watched as Christians were persecuted, killed, and massacred in Dura, south of Baghdad. Many fled Baghdad and went to the safe area of Nineveh in the heart of Mosul. The place they fled to is the heart of the Christian community. In recent days, the […]
By Nate Butler July 2006 Did you know that people in ancient cultures around the world actually produced and read comics? Don’t laugh … It’s true! “Comics” may be defined as “a series of pictures which tell a story or make a point.” They are neither a new phenomenon nor the exclusive invention of any […]
