Have you ever tried to truly give away something for free? Whether it's simply passing along your cart at Aldi's without wanting a quarter back or doing a car wash "just because", people aren't used to others just simply doing good without some ulterior motives. Our teams discovered this in even greater ways today as… Continue reading Day 4 Recap – “What’s the Catch?”

A Sermon in Shoes
One week from today, I'll be walking the streets of NYC with a group of 9 other people on our Young Adult Mission Trip. Our theme for the 5 day journey is "This is Church."

Grains of Pain
As she makes her way across the rocky beach, sand clings to her feet like the grains of bitterness that have clung to her heart. Grains of hurt. Grains of guilt. Grains of abandonment and limits. Grains of mistreatment, miscommunication, and misunderstanding. Grains of use and abuse. All multiplying with grains of unforgiveness. Grains so… Continue reading Grains of Pain

2012: Looking forward

But I guess that just goes to show, that even on this first day of the new year, we can plan for what’s ahead, but God determines our steps (Proverbs 16:9). And to think I almost missed… Continue reading 2012: Looking forward
2011 in Review – The Ministry Story
It's fun to look back. So I decided to do a few posts recapping 2011. This first one is from the ministry standpoint and contains some of the highlights in each month of ministry.
