Some years ago, WWJD bracelets were all the rage. What would Jesus do? The acronym was a wonderful device. However, might I suggest we change one word?

August 1 — The Arise Leadership Summit 2025 concluded in Jakarta, Indonesia, with nearly 300 participants from 22 countries uniting to strategize the future of missions around guiding principles of Mindset, Mentorship, Modeling, Missional Living, and Mobilization. Leaders emphasized intergenerational collaboration, grassroots discipleship, sustainable mission ecosystems, and collective ownership. The summit was framed as a "commissioning," not an endpoint, and will resume in Bangkok in 2026. (Christian Daily) |
| August 1 — Spurgeon's College, a historic Baptist institution in the UK founded in 1856 by Charles Spurgeon, announced its immediate closure due to "significant" financial challenges and declining student enrollment. Despite securing funding earlier this year, the sudden termination of financial support on July 21, 2025, left the college unable to sustain operations. Trustees expressed both grief and gratitude for the college's legacy, and requested prayers for students and staff. (Christian Today) |
| August 1 — The Vatican has partnered with Italy to transform a 1,000-acre site near Rome into a solar farm, aiming to become the world's first carbon-neutral state. The project, pending Italian parliamentary approval, will cost under €100 million and generate enough electricity for the entire state, with excess power benefiting the local community. The agreement ensures minimal environmental impact and preserves agricultural use of the land. (RNS) |

You might think, because of their importance to the spread of the gospel, that the apostles were the best and most perfect people Jesus could find. But in fact their stories are just as checkered as the rest of ours with sins and follies.
Why then did Jesus choose them? |
