What do you do when a Christian doesn’t act like one?
When, on one hand, people claim to believe in Christ, while on the other hand, they don’t act like it, is there anything that can be done? What is clear in scripture is that God doesn’t want us as believers to simply stand on the sidelines and look on. Recently, GoodSeed celebrated the launch of […]
Refugees on Christmas Island
Australia regularly receives boatloads of refugees seeking asylum. Many of these people from surrounding nations are genuine asylum seekers, while others are not. It’s a challenge for the government to discern the difference as it processes these people arriving on its shores. The refugees are temporarily housed on Christmas Island while their cases are being […]

Kids are often a bridge in building friendships in a cross-cultural situation and the […]
Read to me, please
(Editor’s note: In life, we are often faced with difficult circumstances: an illness or some tragedy. Even during these times, if we look beyond ourselves, we can find God bringing someone into our lives with whom we can share the gospel message. This is Phoebe’s* story.) A day after we shared Brad Powell’s video testimony, […]
