‘Let there be light’: WEA Executive Chair Goodwill Shana calls for unity in diversity at global assembly in Seoul

Rev. Dr. Goodwill Shana, Executive Chair of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), opened the first day of the WEA General Assembly in Seoul with a stirring message on unity, diversity, and the mission of the global Church. Speaking during a joint session with hundreds of Korean pastors gathered for a parallel conference, Shana urged believers worldwide to “shine as one light” in a world marked by division and darkness.

  • The benefits of discipline for raising godly adults

    Parents can too easily experience continual frustration and marital conflict because of their children’s lack of obedience. Homes lack joy. Instead, they are filled with angry voices and aggravated cries, as parents try their best to do a job they have no training for and few (if any) healthy role models.

  • Trusting in God's presence in the midst of strangers

    When God calls us out from our homes, we go as strangers to lands that are strange to us. Yet, God goes ahead of us and stays with us, challenging us to always trust in him. Here is the experience of one young woman who has been challenged to use her gifts for the sake of the gospel and a better world.

  • We bring our ethnic uniqueness with us when we become new creatures in Christ

    As new Christians (especially if you're non-Western) we are too often taught that our ethnic identity should be ignored or even suppressed in favor of a spiritual identity. Our teachers ignore the fact that Evangelical Christianity is heavily interpreted through a Western lens. Non-Westerners will flourish in Christ if they are encouraged to embrace the redeemed benefits of their unique ethnicity, because that is part of them being a gift from God as a blessing to the Church and the world.
