Background & Rationale for Initiating this project. Streetkids was started in 2012 by a member of the Freetown Ecclesia who found children on the street and felt compelled to show them the love of Jesus.

The March issue of The Christadelphian was published on February 25. This month had an abundance of news which limited some of the other material.

(An excerpt from The Praises of Israel Volume One, by Brother Dudley Fifield) “We “shall not want” because “he maketh (us) to lie down in pastures of tender grass” (AV margin), and “he leadeth (us) beside the waters of quietness” (AV margin).

Judging by the urgency… Read More Today’s thought “Who is able to … and to present you” (December 20)
Yesterday we mentioned the difficulties that we, Christadelphians, but also the Jeshuaists and Jews may experience in Belgium and France, and how we must always respond positively to that resistance. We must, above all, avoid the negativeness towards us through our positive, loving attitude. As Christadelphians, like Jeshuaists, are real Christians, or followers of Christ… Read More Today’s thought “Darker days, presents and Love for others” (December 13)
In this world there may be lots of unkind speech, gossip, slander, but we as followers of Christ should get rid of all such evil behaviour.
