    From Head-Hunters to Church Planters

    An Amazing Spiritual Awakening in Nagaland

    by Paul Hattaway

    There is a tendency today to associate revival and miracles with charismatic churches, but there were none of those in Nagaland when God first brought revival there.

    The Fullness of Time

    by Wesley Hill
