PASTOR’S PONDERING
What a different world it would be if Christians were empowered to relinquish worldly power and make space for God to disrupt and transform our culture for His kingdom. This week our country needs God to disrupt and transform our culture more than ever.

A NOTE FROM THE BARTONS IN NEW GUINEA
The Bartons, who have been working in Papua New Guinea, are home of furlough. David had hoped to complete his MA in Global Leadership while on furlough but has discovered the courses he needs will not be offered in the time he had planned to be in the States. In the meantime, he has been asked to help SIL with setting up an office in the United States. David had served as director of SIL while in Papua New Guinea. Looks like God knew what was needed for both SIL and David. DBC will continue to support the Bartons as they remain in the States doing what God has called them to do.
