Ugly Christianity “We should stop all immigration of Muslims to the US until this threat with Islam has been settled.” Christianity Today, July 24, 2015 Franklin Graham, President, BGEA

Dr. Alex Mandes, Director of Immigrant Mission, EFCA “Franklin Graham is a hero to me. To hear him espouse what he did saddens me because I would hope a man who speaks for the church would speak for the gospel and not give political rhetoric that we hear. … My biggest hurt is that the church has no better answer than that? We have the great commission and the great commandment. Migration has always been a tool that God has used to bring people to himself.” Christianity Today, July 24, 2015 Dr. Alex Mandes, Director of Immigrant Mission, EFCA

Beautiful Christianity “[American Muslims] no more wear the ideology of terrorism than you wear the ideology of Westboro Baptist Church. They are as afraid of radicalization as you are. This is truth.” Marilyn R. Gardner, pubic health nurse who grew up in Pakistan

Our Mission To be a welcoming, celebrating, growing family living out together the Way of Jesus— loving God, loving one another, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Our Vision To see life-transforming house churches where open-heart surgery takes place regularly throughout the Wichita area wherever there are pockets of poverty.

Table Sharing Who has been an example of beautiful Christianity for you?  How did he or she show the beauty of Jesus?
