Grace Abounding
Grace Abounding

The Lord invites us in and washes us clean. All too quickly our pride tells us we know better and we set out on our own. But He is relentless in His love, pursuit, and commitment to us, even when we have forgotten our commitment to Him. “Grace Abounding” is a beautiful exploration through these truths. Read this stunning poem by Andrew Cowart, first published in our PILGRIM VOL. III 2020 Field Journal.

O Parent, Where Art Thou? [PILGRIM IV Excerpt] // FAI'S 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

In this exclusive excerpt from our Decade Edition of the FAI PILGRIM Field Journal, Director Jeff Henderson reflects on the epidemic of fatherlessness and what the Body of Jesus is meant to bear witness to as a family. We are all meant to grow up in Christ and raise spiritual children of our own.

The Wheat, the Tares, the [Roaring] Twenties [PILGRIM IV Excerpt] // FAI'S 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY (Copy)

We want revival—and it’s coming, but it’s coming with persecution. Everyone wants Antioch, but we forget that it was the persecution in and destruction of Jerusalem that birthed Antioch. Everyone wants the Moravian lamp stand, but it was the persecution in Prague that birthed the Moravian movement. This persecution, these tares, are the fire that purge you to preserve you. Persecution keeps you clean.

Martyrdom as a Continuum [Unto Death Book Excerpt] // FAI'S 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Written by Dalton Thomas in the months leading up to the birth of FAI in December 2011, UNTO DEATH explores the implications of the resurrection, the imperatives of costly discipleship, and invites those who love and confess the Lordship of Jesus to invest their limited life in this age for an abundant life in the next—driven by the apostolic "blessed hope" befitting those who worship a crucified King and a slain Lamb.

10 Years // A Letter from President Dalton Thomas
10 Years // A Letter from President Dalton Thomas

Adoniram Judson, pioneer to Burma, once wrote: “In spite of sorrow, loss, or pain, our course be onward still; we sow on Burma’s barren plain—we reap on Zion’s hill.” As we look back over FAI's first ten years, remembering our own soiled diapers and first steps, we look forward to the next ten years with confidence in the Lord of the Harvest: “this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to everyone everywhere as a witness, and then the end will come.”

Pressing in to Press On [PILGRIM IV Excerpt] // FAI'S 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

“One thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” By the time he wrote these words, Paul was several years along the narrow road, with several more yet ahead of him. He knew what it was to lose family, prestige, career, relationships, health, and friendships to obedience—and it doesn’t seem he ever entertained regret. You “become what you behold,” and Paul locked his gaze on Jesus and persevered down the path of costly discipleship.
