September 8, 2021It's the Little Things
I have discovered that in the ordinary, everyday moments, great acts of mission happen. A cup of coffee with a neighbor, a text or phone call with encouragement, or just being present have paved the way for conversations of faith.

What does it mean to become part of the community where God has placed you? For Arlan Menninga, it has meant everything from leading a Bible study to building birdhouses.
In November 2019, Arlan Menninga moved into his retirement community, a large brick building with 150 private apartments in Tinley Park, Illinois.

July 15, 2021Discipleship and a Tale of Two Men
The Table, a Resonate Global Mission church plant partner that you support in Thorold, Ontario, is celebrating a young man’s new life in Christ—thanks to a discipleship encounter this spring that seemed to echo one six years ago.
Terence Schilstra, your church planter who started The Table, first met Brian six years ago. They crossed paths outside of the school gym where The Table hosts community dinners.

In May of 2019, Resonate Global Mission launched an investigation into allegations of abuse at one of our ministry partners, the Christian Academy of Japan (CAJ).

June 25, 2021Why Missionaries Matter
The term “missionary” comes with some baggage, especially in countries where Western Christians have sent missionaries.

Evangelism has a bad reputation. Many people think of colonialism, televangelists shouting about burning in hell on cable, and Christians standing on street corners with signs that say, “PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD!”
But every day, Resonate Global Mission missionaries and other ministry leaders are working toward painting a different portrait of evangelism as they share the gospel in loving ways.
When it comes to evangelism, motive and method make a big difference, said Resonate missionary Linda.
