Visiting Scholars Ministry 2008-2009 Video

The Visiting Scholars Ministry (VSM) is a ministry within Praxis at Gracepoint Fellowship Church that reaches out to international scholars on short-term visits to UC Berkeley. In this first year of the new ministry, our VSM staff was able to meet 30+ visiting scholars who participated in our weekly activities such as media Bible studies, Praxis Life Matters, and other cultural events. For many of the visiting scholars, this was one of their first major personal exposure to Christians and they walked away with a better understanding of the Christian Gospel message and genuine friendships with Christians. We’re thankful for this opportunity to minister to them!

People Who Never Heard? December 11, 2009
I have a question regarding how we are to understand salvation and consequently, damnation, in the context of the pre-Christ world. Was salvation possible in a pre-christ world? Was it possible in all cultures, outside of Abraham and outside of the Jewish community in formation? If so, how? In-line with this question is another one I have heard twice in the […]
