As Easter approaches, believers worldwide turn their eyes to the cross, remembering the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This month, we reflect on the agony and redemption of Christ in Gethsemane, exploring the deep significance of His surrender before the cross.

Our feature stories tackle faith, science, and the search for truth – from whether science contradicts Scripture to the power of theology in worship. We also explore the loneliness of being misunderstood, the Bible’s intricate cross-references, and the role of child evangelism in shaping the next generation.

In our missions and testimonies section, read stories of faith found in suffering, life-changing encounters with God, and bold evangelism in unexpected places.

Our regular favourites include Bible quizzes, competitions, character studies, and insights into Revelation’s seven churches, along with practical Christian living advice.
