Meet the Ministries: Acts 29 (10/19/09 - 11 Comments)
A few weeks ago I began a series called "Meet the Ministries." This purpose of this series is to learn about some of the more prominent or more interesting ministries seeking to serve the church today. In the past this series has stopped at Grace to You and Desiring God. Today it continues to Acts 29 where Scott Thomas, Acts 29's Chairman and Director, was kind enough to answer a few questions.

Vintage Jesus is the first book published under the banner of Resurgence Literature (Re:Lit) which is a ministry of Resurgence (which is, in turn supported by Mars Hill Church).
