Fresh Bread and Core Values
We can be flexible about many things, but in Scripture God has given us bedrock, unbending truths that don’t change no matter how much time passes or culture shifts.

On May 23 and 24, the Eubanks Institute for Missions at Johnson Bible College (Knoxville, TN) hosted a gathering of forwarding agents, missionaries, and others interested in missions to discuss the agents” multifaceted and important role.
Speakers at “The Work of the Forwarding Agent: Past, Present and Future” included Reggie Hundley, Ziden Nutt, Chris Templar, and Carrie Beth Lowe. Workshops and main sessions focused on finances, education, public relations, publishing, and more.
The Eubanks Institute was established in 2006 and named in honor of former JBC President David Eubanks and his wife, Margaret, to recognize their significant contribution to worldwide missions and evangelism. In addition to events like this two-day conference, the institute compiles a database of Christian church/church of Christ missionaries, commissions studies for publication, coordinates a prayer ministry on behalf of missionaries and recruits, and serves as a clearinghouse for online and printed material related to mission work.

The public may have lost confidence in higher education more generally, yet I believe we may be entering another golden era in Christian higher education.
Someday we will lay down our WOMBATs and our treasured accomplishments. What will matter most then? Clinging to Christ and the cross.

From the Christian Standard archives, Dorothy Errett reminds every Christian of New Year’s resolutions we all should make to begin the new year.
