Confidence and Courage for the Body of Christ.

Faith Made Public (FMP) aims to assist Christian believers to embody the flourishing life of the future Kingdom of Hope, in this world so full of present contradictions to faith, hope and love. It aims to “influence the influencers” by inspiring Christian leaders, pastors, and the lay public to develop a “proper confidence” in the Gospel and to live lives “faithfully present” in the fragmented and divided public spaces of modern democracy.

Let me explain what I mean.
