Read • Learn • Grow

Kickoff Ministry’s World section searches for meaningful stories, ideas, achievements, businesses, entrepreneurs, organizations, and developments from around the world that we believe are worth sharing with our readers. Our goal is to provide thoughtful and positive reading that encourages people to expand their minds, continue learning, think critically, and approach each day with purpose.

As children of God, we believe we should continue growing in knowledge, character, creativity, and understanding while using our abilities to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through the articles and stories featured here, we hope to introduce readers to people and ideas that inspire innovation, perseverance, leadership, service, and productive change.

Will every reader become the next Thomas Edison? Probably not — but you never know. Readers make leaders. Our hope is simply that good reading can spark a new idea, encourage a better attitude, inspire someone to pursue a goal, or help a person bring greater purpose and productivity into the workplace and everyday life.

Read something good. Learn something new. Make today productive. God Bless You!

CHAPTER 1: Page 2

As his children, we are not only cared for, but also guided for, and when necessary, lovingly disciplined, even when we fall short, he does not turn away. Instead, in the greatest act of love the world has ever known, in my opinion, he gave his son Jesus Christ to save us.

Calling God Father, he reveals his heart, a heart that protects us as his children, guides our steps, leads with authority, and loves us with a devotion that never fails.

Just as scripture reveals from what I’ve read and studied, Christians, by my definition, are those who place their faith in God and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Though none of us are perfect, including myself. Believers seek to grow in faith, share the good news of Jesus without shame, and turn to God in prayer through both the trials and joys of life.

Christianity is the faith centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, with the Holy Bible serving as our guide for truth, wisdom, and correction, and the promise of eternal life.

Muslims call God Allah, the all-knowing, all-powerful creator who is completely singular and without equal. In Islam, Allah has no partners, no children, and no division within himself. He is beyond full human understanding. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, highly honored, but not divine, and that Muhammad is the final and greatest prophet.
