Platform, Power, and Prestige
Platform, Power, and Prestige

No one wants to get whooped so badly they can only escape by running through the public square bruised and bloodied in their birthday suit.

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.”
