The Necessity Of Men And Women Working Together in Evangelizing this Generation
By: Jane Overstreet | August 1, 2008
When believers model the truth of God’s Kingdom, people cannot help but be attracted.

This results in confusion [...]

Through their dedication to these ideals, the early evangelicals made significant contributions to missions and the emancipation of slaves, and they also offered a comprehensive biblical foundation [...]
