More Christians Who Are on the Front Lines
The faithfulness that individual Christians demonstrate in their everyday lives makes a compelling case that the Christian worldview is both true and good. Nothing is more encouraging than to hear from followers of Christ who’ve been resourced, encouraged, and equipped by Breakpoint, the Colson Fellows program, or the Upstream and Strong Women podcasts. If any of these resources have been helpful to you, please email us at info@colsoncenter.org. And please consider supporting the Colson Center with a year-end, tax-deductible gift. You can give at ColsonCenter.org/December.
