Missions Central
A collection of essays on how to be a missionary,
how to pick a missionary, and how to support a missionary
Liv-n-LetLiv is not an organization but a way of life surrendered
to God and the Bible. Living this way brings the fruit of the Holy
Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These things are
characteristics of Jesus and true Christians, but seem to be lost in most
institutions today. It is not some new movement or "enlightenment" but a life
lived by the saints from the Apostles to Billy Graham, from Augustine to
Dwight Moody to Francis of Asisi to Mother Teresa and millions of others. How
do we regain this relationship with the God of Love?
