Raising Culturally-Rooted Spiritual Leaders

A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes... and is completely dependent on the fact that the door of freedom has to be opened from the outside, is not a bad picture of Advent.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Quoting from Bonhoeffer, we pay our tribute to Nelson Mandela, inspired by Gandhi and demonstrated a rare moral leadership we so need today! 

PROGRAMS 

NATIONAL
ISAAC’s Fifth Symposium (pictured above), “Healing of Memories, Healing of Finances” received enthusiastic responses from the participants.  The caliber of the finance panelists from the business executives and clergy offered integrative insights between spirituality and finances.  The key theme emerged was the spirituality of stewardship.

ISAAC Midwest interns for this summer were involved in various ministries from June to August including preaching, leading youth programs, teaching Sunday School, going on Short Term Missions, counseling, church administration, etc.  “I feel that these “calling” studies have enabled me to be more confident to what God has led me and to be even more relentless in praying for discernment and guidance." (D. Lau)
