Explore “Generations” in the latest Billions magazine!
“I was blessed to grow up in a family where my parents, both Christians, brought us to church and Sunday school regularly,” OMF Australia National Communications Lead Scott Brown writes in the latest Billions. “Not everyone has this foundation, so it’s on each of us to not only share the gospel but also disciple the emerging generations…engaging with them in spaces where they feel seen and understood.”
