In Italy, one of our Alliance members, Christine, worked on a special project for her church for Easter.

On today's Archive Wednesday, read the story about an HSI trip to Southeast Asia and the bold young artist they met there.

“So that is the outline of the official story—the tale of the time when God was the underdog and got beaten, when he submitted to the conditions he had laid down and became a man like the men he had made, and the men he had made broke him and killed him.

- Dorothy Sayers, Letters to a Diminished Church

On this Archive Wednesday (coming a day late this week - apologies for that!), read about a man from Kurdistan who longs for his music to reach his people with the gospel.

On this Archive Wednesday, we are sharing a Heart Sounds International (HSI) article from a trip to South Asia in 2019. Read below the beautiful account of people groups learning to see each other and experience the gospel through the arts.

The crisis in the Ukraine has been heavy on all of our hearts over the last weeks. Operation Mobilization has been engaging the situation where they can, working to care for people and share the love of Jesus with them.

Although Epiphany is celebrated on January 6^th, the church observes the season of Epiphany from that point until the beginning of the Lenten season with Ash Wednesday. In the midst of this Epiphany season, what can we learn?

“The Lord said to Moses, ‘See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs [. . .]’”
