The latest from CHNetwork
We’re nearing the end of our 15 Days of Prayer for Christian Unity, which started on January 11th and continues through to January 25th. All the prayers and reflections can be found at chnetwork.org/unity.
This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a fantastic interview with Rachel Bulman, who was raised by Pentecostal missionaries and ended up in the Catholic Church.
We also complied a playlist of Journey Home episodes featuring Protestant missionaries who became Catholic.
In a new written story, Noah Bradon listed the major questions he had to sort through before he accepted the authority of the Catholic Church.
And on our latest Insights video, Kerstin Pakka shared how she found healing and faith in the aftermath of her abortion.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION
Zubair Simonson profiled St. Abo, a convert from Islam to Catholicism who was martyred for his beliefs.
And Catholic News Agency reflected on the passing of the world’s oldest person: a nun who became Catholic at age 19 and lived for 100 more years.
APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK
Colin Causey discussed how to avoid the trap of “verse-slinging” apologetics.
Msgr. Charles Pope laid out five basic principles of Catholic anthropology.
And the Washington Examiner looked at the priest behind the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous.

A member struggling with Catholic moral teaching as they explore the Church, a convert looking to find friends in their parish community, and all our members who are involved in RCIA in teaching or mentoring roles – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
