Seeking local church ministries and faith-based organizations stories

Mark Gunderman writes and solicits articles that reflect the local church ministries and faith-based organizations spiritual rhythm and follow the seasons of the Church. These stories of hope, love and joy often have an impact far outside the walls of the Church deep into the very fabric of the community.

The Church and the media have many philosophical differences, yet common denominators link them together. Both have a message they want to articulate. An inherent responsibility for both is to communicate successfully.

These types of stories assist our communities to enlist the active presence of God and find strategic direction and empowerment for accomplishing the goals of gospel ministry together in and through our Churches. Even though we do not all attend the same church or agree on every point of doctrine, we can indeed pray for a movement of God for the visible unity of His whole church. Jesus desires us to come to "complete unity."

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." John 17:20-23 (The Great Request)

There is no such thing as too much communication.
