The Global Initiative

Advancing the stories and ideas of the global Church.

CT’s audience is already 34% outside of the United States, but The Global Initiative will dramatically expand our coverage to better represent what God is doing around the world, interconnecting the global Church, and illuminating the work of Jesus on every continent.

The Greatest Danger to the Church is always that It should lose its First love.

Billy Graham hoped that Christianity Today would “reaffirm the power of the Word of God to redeem and transform men and women.” This is the heart of our model of redemptive storytelling.

By telling the stories of God for the people of God and the world, always pointing to the power of Jesus to bring redemption and restoration to the world, we remind ourselves of the beauty of Christ and his kingdom and refuse to be taken captive by lesser loves and loyalties. By reenchanting our readers with Jesus and his kingdom, we hope to remind them of their first love, their innermost identity, and their highest calling.
