Void: An empty space. What I just witnessed never happened. You won’t read about it anywhere in the news. No one is talking about it. Yet I just returned from seeing the biggest humanitarian crisis going on in Africa today… and most of the world is doing nothing about it. Several weeks ago, I wrote […]
By Brad Phillips Last week, PPF sent out a press release reporting on the recent bombing of Darfur refugees in Southern Sudan.

By Ed Lyons I just finished reading Brian Kluth’s book, Experiencing God as Your Provider. In it, he writes, “God our Provider has a plan to allow us to glorify Him and bless others. He promises to meet our needs as we labor in those things to which He has called us.” Later, he reminds […]
