September 2016 marks the 14th anniversary of Cadre Ministries! For 14 years, God and YOU have made it possible for us, as Cadre missionaries, to overflow and multiply Jesus' disciplemaking mission here and around the world. And look at what God is doing ! If you love Cadre Ministries, its missionaries, and its disciplemaking mission, we invite you to be God's wind in our sails.

(To download this as a PDF to print or share with others,  go here .) Praying together before school? I know. It's crazy. Right?  Dream with me for a minute: What might God do in and through us if we really prayed this prayer together from our hearts on a regular basis?   Here's a thought : Loving God, loving people, and making disciplemakers might actually become a way of life that spreads infectiously to others—and changes the world. That's exactly how Jesus lived—and changed the world . And here's another crazy thought: This prayer isn't just for the kids. Yeah, that's getting a little too personal, ain't it?  But that's the point my friend. We have to live on a disciplemaking mission from God if we want kids t

Best. Garden. Ever. Here's why... Coffee is a BEAN.  BEANS are a vegetable.  Therefore, coffee is a vegetable. I say we should all eat more vegetables. Behold, the amazing power of logic!
