Outreach to Non-Christians | Subodh Pandit (pictured left) was born and raised in India. After medical school, he embarked on an intellectual journey of inquiry—lasting decades—that took him through the questions of the existence of God, evolution, relativism, pluralism and the challenge of understanding the great world religions. He organized his findings into a seminar, which he shares mainly to secular university campuses around the world. He has authored a two-book set, spoken on 3ABN and radio programs and is the director of Search Seminars International.

How to Improve Your Prayer Life | Pavel Goia knew at a young age that God had called him to ministry. Being born and raised in communist Romania didn’t make following that calling an easy task. After drifting during his teenage years, his life took a proverbial turn, and he promised to serve God and fulfill his original calling. The events that ensued are chronicled in the book One Miracle After Another: The Pavel Goia Story. As Goia shares miraculous stories of answered prayers, be filled with wonder at God’s love in action, learn to commune with Him and know His real and constant presence in your life.
