This month’s issue carries a strong call to evangelism, prayer, and faithful Christian living. Our cover story features Tamryn Klintworth, who shares how God has shaped her journey, strengthened her calling, and deepened her conviction that every believer is called to make Jesus known.

Inside this issue, we explore timely topics affecting the Church and our nation, including how Christians should vote, 50 days of prayer ahead of the local government elections, the danger of false prophets, and what it means to behave like a Christian. We also share practical Biblical wisdom on raising resilient children, building a strong marriage, and developing the right attitude through life’s challenges.

This issue is rich with powerful testimonies of God’s faithfulness. Pastor Josh Sullivan shares how the Lord sustained him through five days of captivity after he was kidnapped while preaching, while FEBA celebrates 80 years of miracles across the world. You will also find stories of transformation through TWR, a moving cerebral palsy testimony, mission updates, Bible teaching, local Christian book reviews, and all your favourite regulars.
