What Jesus Started

Reignite your faith in the power of the gospel through remarkable stories of God's work in the global church. Discover how the church that Jesus started over 2,000 years ago continues today: around the world, in your church and in your life!

Join bestselling storyteller Ellen Vaughn on a global journey to uncover compelling accounts of the gospel's power in everyday life. You'll be reinvigorated as you see, with fresh eyes, God's present work in the world through his people.

Vaughn invites you into the stories of a former would-be suicide bomber who now pastors in Turkey, Christians in war-weary Ukraine bringing hope to their neighbors, a Rwandan pastor who forgave the man who killed his family, and many more.
