communities, stop the violence,
stop the drug dealing, stop the

CINCINNATI — Look around you
Sunday morning.
Is there a mom drowning in
a sea of credit-card debt? A dad
who can’t seem to quit clicking
Internet porn? A teen dealing
with a hangover
or worried
about a potential
pregnancy?
In the 21st cen-
tury, the Christian

under constant
siege: Sexual
images. Financial

Busyness. A
digital culture that
devotes more atten-
tion to texting than
the sacred text.

With the theme
“Families Matter,”
a recent area-wide
conference on marriage and
family tackled modern America’s
uncomfortable realities. The

JALI, Malawi — Damison
Nsapato can’t stop smiling.
On a Saturday morning,
he rushes from his home
to greet unexpected visitors
from nearby Namikango
Mission — a ministry train-
ing facility and maternity
clinic in this slender, land-
locked African nation.
Speaking in Chichewa,
Nsapato talks about his
32 years as preacher for
the D-Malikebu Church of
Christ, a congregation of 170
souls, shepherded by four
elders. When asked his age,
he replies with a laugh.
He’s 88.
His congregation is one of
the estimated 4,000 Churches
of Christ in Malawi —
