From senior staff writer Emily Belz: A lot of coverage of the situation in Minnesota has focused on the protests—rightly so, since protestors have been killed. But in reporting from the Twin Cities this past week, I found so much going on in immigrant communities themselves. While Christians are certainly present at the protests, evangelicals are more involved in distributing food and driving their neighbors to work. As I was writing this, I heard from a local Christian who has been helping an immigrant family. She was awakened by a 5 a.m. phone call that the family’s baby had had seizures and was at the hospital; could she drive and escort the baby home after treatment? She did. This is what people in Minnesota are doing every day.

Also I want to confirm the famous niceness of Minnesotans. Last week was the coldest weather the Twin Cities had seen in almost seven years. I was not prepared, but Minnesotans helped me out with extra clothes and hand warmers. An immigrant family, themselves in hiding, fed me warm food at their home on one of the coldest nights. When I was reporting outside the immigration detention facility one day when it was 20 degrees below zero, someone came around with thermoses of coffee and tea.

When Jesus taught, he used parables. The kingdom of God is like yeast, a net, a pearl. Then and today, to grasp wisdom and spiritual insight, we need the concrete. We need stories. In this issue of Christianity Today, we focus on testimony—the stories we tell, hear, and proclaim about God’s redemptive work in the world. Testimony is a personal application of the Good News. You’ll read Marvin Olasky’s testimony from Communism to Christ, Jen Wilkin’s call to biblical literacy, and a profile on the friendship between theologian Miroslav Volf and poet Christian Wiman. In an essay on pickleball, David Zahl reminds us that play is also a testament to God’s grace. As you read, we hope you’ll apply the truths of the gospel in your own life, church, and neighborhood. May your life be a testimony to the reality of God’s kingdom.
