A few of us from the Life.Church team are currently traveling to Malawi and Tanzania to visit a few partner sites.

We aim to strengthen our focus and unity thereby increasing impact across the globe. Too much to unpack here, but we are hopeful for some powerful discoveries on how we can leverage the greater sum of the partnerships to see massive Kingdom impact.

I didn't really love the last season of House of Cards but Making a Murderer was excellent. It's too early to tell with Ozark, but it certainly has potential.
