The Life of Faith - The Many Facets of the Church
an interdenominational monthly magazine published by the Christian Missionary Society
In the October issue you will find: * theme: When the leader fails
Gifted Christian leaders and serious sin - is that even possible? And if so, how to approach it? Can a leader preach on areas where he himself is struggling and failing? Are there different rules for reprimanding leaders? The topic is discussed by M. Klesnil, D. Novák, T. Dittrich, L. Ondráček and S. Bennett. * interview - Kazakh pastor: We are teetering on the edge of the law
Jermachan recalls how he came to believe in "Isu" and why his friends began to avoid him, preferring to cross the street to another sidewalk. Although cautious, he is not afraid to speak about the situation and needs of Christians in a country that is hostile to the Gospel. + Didn't God know how it would turn out? - Editorial by M.
