My grandfather was an Italian immigrant who came to Philadelphia at the turn of the 20th century. He worked in a slaughterhouse and later at a refinery. He loved chin-ups and bowling and could fix anything. On a wall in the workshop basement of his small South Philadelphia row home was a collection of the hard hats he would wear

Hello, As you may already know, I am retiring at the end of this year from my leadership role at InFaith. I’ve had an amazing 14 years here; God has done some incredible things. You’ll hear more about His faithfulness in the issue that you’re about to read. I’m really thankful for the bedrock that this ministry is founded on

One of the most intriguing pages on our new website is the one dedicated to the stories of InFaith Missionaries (https://infaith.org/stories). Men and women of God called and committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ across America; these stories capture the ordinary and extraordinary moments of their service. An InFaith missionary couple shared one such story with my

Prayers for Damar Hamlin and Jeremy Renner.

I was late turning the game on and was surprised by the hushed tones and serious faces of the commentators. Everything about the broadcast communicated that something had gone wrong—very seriously wrong. What seemed like a typical NFL hit had stopped an athlete’s heart on live television. At some point after that, I

“The jet turned at an impossible angle. It was going too fast to make a safe landing. It can’t be a passenger plane, or it would be in trouble.” Those were my thoughts standing by the gate at Sacramento airport. As it got closer, I could see it was a fighter jet and it very lightly touched down before rocketing

My dad passed away this week.

2 Corinthians 12 must be one of the most powerful testimonies of God’s faithfulness in the whole of scripture. Paul, acknowledging the surpassing greatness of the revelations the Lord has shown him, goes on to say how a thorn in his flesh kept him from being conceited. He doesn’t say what the thorn is, only that he prayed for the

I love to hear the stories of InFaith missionaries making a difference in people’s lives. Bill and Patsy Curry serve in one of the most under resourced neighborhoods in the United States, and, by God’s immeasurable grace, they are faithful and fruitful, and they are reaping an amazing harvest. Some of those they’ve ministered to have reached out recently to thank

As the horror of the shooting at the Covenant Presbyterian Church School in Nashville set in, people immediately began drawing conclusions about what the shooting means, how it was handled, and what could be done to prevent such violence in the future.

The reason and the passion for why I want to serve refugees and immigrants here in South Philadelphia is that I was born here. The opportunity to serve your own neighborhood—there’s nothing more rewarding than that! As a child of South Korean immigrant parents, I was constantly caught in the divide between cultures. God planted a seed in me through

Camp Galilee, La Follette, TN

“We have so many children that live for the camp experience,” says Mark Lay, who serves as camp director with his wife, Mellissa, at Camp Galilee in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee. Some of their campers come from homes without adequate water, heat, or indoor plumbing. “It’s so sad to see

Never Stop Loving: All Kinds of Locals

We stand and wait in of one of the most challenging times in our recent history. After COVID-19 we all look at each other differently. Stimulus packages, ZOOM meetings, and grocery stores have tried to meet many of our needs in these past months. But who is standing in the gap for those

What’s InFaith All About? 

We put on an event last month to help explain more about InFaith as a whole and share interviews with several field staffers about their ministries around the country. We also loved sharing in some laughs with Ridge Burns & Christian comedian Brad Stine.
