I decided to become an astrophysicist at the age of eight. I read all the physics and astronomy books in the children’s section of my library. My family supported my voracious appetite for knowledge. My teachers assigned me lots of extra-curricular projects in the social sciences, which eventually sparked my spiritual quest. In my last year of high school, I studied the Thirty Years’ War for one extra project. I wondered why the Catholics and Protestants shed so much blood over trivial doctrine. I posed tough questions to my teacher, who sent me off to the library to read books on comparative religions. Read More...

Tunnel Vision. In 1971, the troubles in Northern Ireland were increasingly becoming a danger to me and to my six children. We listened to horror stories of suffering every day on the radio. Our personal horror story came the night I was attacked by two gunmen. One beat me while asking me questions about someone’s whereabouts. Although I wasn’t a Christian, I silently prayed for God to help me. Read More...

Momentum


Luke 9:23..."if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, & take up his cross daily, & follow Me.

Statistics show that upon graduation,1 out of every 4 Christian high school students will leave the faith, never to return again. We want to reveal to this generation & the generations to come that faith is not an event but a lifestyle, & that taking a diploma does not have to involve laying down your cross. We invite you to connect with us as we ignite a passion for God that would impact the world.

Why the name Momentum?

Momentum: defintion: a force gained by movement

A person interviewing American Idol judge Simon Cowell, once asked "Who do you think will win the competition?" He responded "Whoever can create momentum will win the competition. But before anyone can create momentum, they must first have a moment; & build upon that moment day after day to create momentum." The key to the Christian faith is the same as true, whoever can create momentum will win the race of life (2 Tim. 4:7). We want you to realize that Christianity is not an event but a lifestyle. When you get saved or have your moment, the Christian faith does not stop there, but it is about creating momentum, or having moment after moment with God until you create the momentum & become a force gained by movement, as you take up your cross & pursue Him & the life that He has for you (Luke 9:23).

We believe God is looking for a people that is passionate for Him. To make a difference we must be different, the world will take notice who Christ is when they begin to see "real" Christians. It's time we return to a place of holy surrender. It's time that "Christians" start carrying the name & the cross. If you are ready to find the answer to the question of "why am I here", or "what am I supposed to do"; join us as we reveal the answer to those questions by knowing Him, & making Him known.
