The impact of foreign and online ministries on local churches

Introduction In today's global Christian world, foreign and online ministries are growing and impacting local churches. Drawing from my own experiences with these external ministries, I aim to explore how they influence local churches, the theological implications, and the specific challenges faced by diaspora churches, especially African diaspora, trying to replicate their homeland models in foreign settings. I will discuss the pros and cons from a theological perspective to understand their impact on local church life. Considerations of Foreign Ministries Pros of Foreign Ministries Foreign ministries bring global perspectives and new approaches that can enrich local church practices. Theologically, the concept of the universal body of Christ supports the idea that the Church is not limited to any single culture or place. Philippians 2:4 encourages believers to look beyond their own interests and consider others', suggesting a collaborative relationship between local and forei...

He gives power to the weak

  Judges 13–16, Isaiah 40:28-31 “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary.

Exode 14 13 Moïse répondit au peuple: Ne craignez rien, restez en place, et regardez la délivrance que l’Eternel va vous accorder en ce jour; car les Egyptiens que vous voyez aujourd’hui, vous ne les verrez plus jamais. 14 L’Eternel combattra pour vous; et vous, gardez le silence. Dans la vie chrétienne, nous sommes parfois amenés à passer dans un desert spirituel sans pourtant comprendre le pourquoi. Le desert spirituel est une chose difficile pour tout chrétien et nous avons du mal à faire face à de telles situations. Ce genre de desert se manifeste par le découragement face à des problèmes, le fait de ne plus porter de bons fruits dans notre vie chrétienne et aussi la crainte qui s’empare de notre coeur face à des épreuves et tribulations. Même si nous n’avons pas perdu notre foi, nous avons du mal à prier et nous croyons que Dieu semble être loin de nous à des milliers de kilometres. Nous esssayons de jeûner pour chercher la face de Dieu mais nous ne le pouvons pas à cause de n...
