Jesus' Terms of Discipleship
By Ryan Shaw Ryan is the International Lead Facilitator of Student Volunteer Movement 2 and currently lives among the unreached.
As we look at the scope of what is going on around the world today, we must concede that the days appear to be getting darker and darker. Overwhelming problems such as rampant disease epidemics, unclean water and stark poverty are growing, wars and scuffles between nations and ethnic groups are on the rise, and religious fundamentalism and intolerance toward true followers of Jesus seems to be mounting. This intolerance and even outright hatred of those who follow Christ is what I want to discuss in this article. How do we understand Jesus' call to full discipleship in relation to the world today? What sort of believer is necessary in this hour? more >
Equipping Us as Message Bearers
Holiness By J.C. Ryle

This book is a renewed call to practical holiness and entire self-consecration to God. Politics, controversy, and worldliness have desecrated the very core of our relationship with God. We have become creatures of comfort rather than creatures who belong to a holy and righteous King. Take a fresh look at holiness and be set apart! J.I. Packer says in his preface, "Real Christians will find this book a feast, a gold mine, a spur and heart-warmer, food, drink, medicine, and vitamin tablets, all in one."
Houses that Change the World By Wolfgang Simson

Millions of Christians around the world are becoming aware of an imminent reformation of global proportions within the Church. God is changing this revered institution and is making a new collective awareness of an age-old revelation, a corporate spiritual echo that reflects God's desire for the Church. Whether it is what we know as Church from the last five years or the last five years or the last five hundred years, no one has truly been able to break free from the structures of the past. Many may see this book as radical, many may see it as a reforming of old ideals, but all who read it will be challenged in their Churching and have their priorities refocused in a life-changing way.
Global Prayer Team Guide  Prayer is the foundation for the gospel to be proclaimed among those with the least access. This guide shows you step by step how you can start a local prayer group focused on God's global purpose in and through our generation. This Global Prayer Team guide is an essential tool for starting a local prayer group or helping to see how to make your group one that will sustain over the years. It equips prayer groups to get ideas for prayer, resources, strategic ways to focus on the unreached, and a guide for how to effectively facilitate a prayer meeting.

Upcoming Events THE CALL, NASHVILLE,TN - JULY 7, 2007 The Call is a twelve hour day of fasting and prayer to see hearts, lives, and nations changed. This is a call to repentance on behalf of personal sins and the sins of America. There will be worship and prayer throughout the day beginning at 10am and ending at 10pm. The gates open at 8am, and the organizers are expecting more people than the stadium can hold so early arrival is advisable. SVM2 hopes to see the lives of students radically changed and set ablaze for the purposes of God throughout the earth.
