Welcome to the international Fellowship Cafe!

The Christian story stands alone when pursuing peace with death. Redemption is not simply Jesus making up for the fall of humankind through his atoning death on the cross, it is a renewal of the entire cosmos. The earth is yearning for its eternal future inhabited and stewarded by the resurrected people of God.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, the Apostle Paul tells the young church of Thessalonica not to grieve like the rest who have no hope. Depending on the translation, we read that Paul doesn't want the church to be ignorant or uninformed of the good news...those who sleep in death will be raised up. Jesus' physical resurrection has defeated death! "But God released him from the horrors of death and raised him back to life, for death could not keep him in its grip" (Acts 2:24, NLT). 

God's action actively transforms us as individuals and in community.  As we begin our third year of fellowship, we aim to grow our Monday (online) fellowship and expand the reach through dedicated leaders passionate about the mission:

The International Fellowship Café is a worldwide table where Christians gather around the Word of God to discover how the resurrection of Jesus transforms every conversation about life, suffering, death, and the hope of the world to come.
