Aria Anaforian // I <3 The Church

I heart the church is for the people. It’s for you. It’s for a generation that is going to miss out on fully experiencing all Christ has for them if they don’t find a community and plug into it. The church IS God’s plan. The church is the hope of the world. The church is necessary. The church is alive. The church is beautiful. The church is hope. The church is freedom. The church is salvation. The church is restoration. The church is acceptance. The church is forgiveness. The church is redemption. The church is passionate. The church is joy. The church is selfless. The church is strength. The church is security. The church is safety. The church is love. The church is…YOU.

I have been trying to write this for the past six months now but could not share about the record until I allowed God to change me.

My heart is that this record will touch a generation that has given up on the church. My hope is that those of us who are in the church will be moved with compassion to reach people and not give up on them. To get out of our seats on Sundays and begin to love those around us. In our families, in our work places, in our schools.

If the love of Christ is TRULY manifest in the church, it will become irresistible.

I heart the church…. do you?

NGA (Creative Arts Alliance) Conference Equips Hundreds from Around the World

(Portland, Oregon) In a world strapped by the confines of a global recession, how relevant is evangelism? Is anyone listening? Does anyone care? As made clear among the 350 attendees at Luis Palau’s Innovative Evangelism Conference on November 10-13, there has never been a better time than now to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

“Doors for the Gospel are opening as never before,” said Next Generation Alliance® Director Dr. Tim Robnett. “This conference is equipping evangelists and ministry leaders from around the world for the task ahead.”

Attendees represented more than 10 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Argentina, and Poland. “Coming to a conference like this is so important,” said attendee Justus Amunga, who traveled from Kenya. “It’s a place where evangelists can exchange ideas and find fellowship and encouragement.”

Joining Palau as featured speakers were renowned apologist Dinesh D’Souza and the senior pastor of the Rock Church and Academy, Miles McPherson. Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Matt Redman also joined Palau at the conference, leading attendees in worship and special workshops. Along with much encouragement, attendees received practical training in more than 70 total workshops. Tracks ranged in emphasis from Internet evangelism to fundraising, Latin America to action sports.

“The fundraising part has been a practical takeaway,” said Jason Mendes who came from San Diego with Walking on Water’s surf ministry. He came to get tools for launching a ministry similar in format but specific to wakeboarding. “We envision going out and doing crazy stuff, but most of us don’t realize the rest of the infrastructure that makes it actually possible.”

“It’s cool to see how God puts all of these people in different niches and subcultures with different giftings and abilities,” said Chris Webster, conference director. “What unites us is the Gospel, and making Christ known. Whether someone is a proclamation evangelist or an artist, we all want to communicate the message of Christ.”

“Proclaiming Christ as One,” the theme for this year’s conference, reflects the rally cry that gave birth to NGA. Founded by Palau in 1998 with the goal of multiplying the impact of the Good News, NGA now includes more than 200 partner evangelists and ministries. “Hundreds of millions have never heard about the cross of Christ and His saving work,” said Palau. “When we work together we more effectively flood the world with the Gospel.”
