Memphis, Miami, Milan and Mumbai: Why every Christian needs to be globally minded
[tweetable]Authentic Christian ministry often comes in a context of danger and risk.[/tweetable] We want to be a generation ready to live dangerously for the gospel: ready to go, ready to witness, ready to serve, ready to live and ready to die.
