World Assembly 2023
James Diffin, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees “I wonder what language we’ll speak in eternity?” This was the question I asked myself as I stood in a service with delegates from at least 130 nations in Westerkerk, the largest church in Amsterdam, as part of United Bible Societies’ (UBS) World Assembly.

Confidence in God’s Word
If you were to decide one day to go sky diving, you have decided to put your trust not only in the person you are attached to but also the big piece of material that they are attached to. You have decided to put your entire life in the hands of a stranger and their […]
