The Lord of the Harvest
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering […]
When They Push Back
Doing what I do, I find that when walking a path, when working out a plan, when desperately seeking out a vision of caring for someone other than yourself, intentionally, wholly, deeply, sometimes it is no longer wanted. And that might possibly be the point at which fruit starts to grow. At least, that’s what […]
What are you doing here?
We returned back to the states the end of March, after completing nearly 8 months of language training. We needed to get back to do some additional fundraising for upcoming ministry, and have had a decent start over an almost 2 month period. The summer months will hopefully prove to be fruitful, and our hope […]
Obedience
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it to to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, […]
I Love It When a Plan Comes Together!
“I love it when a plan comes together” – Hannibal – The A-Team Some of you reading knew this reference right away. If you’re under 40 I completely understand the confusion. Why is there a guy with a cigar giving me the thumbs up while celebrating the coming together of a plan. Let me explain. […]
Embracing Uncertainity
Today begins my last week of language school (where did the last 9 months go?). It has been fun to look back on my time here and all God has done, while also looking forward to what I lies ahead for me as I move to San Pedro Sula next week. I am very excited […]
Inspiring Others
In a city that is filled with violence, darkness, negativity and little hope, we are called to be light and salt of this world. It’s hard some days, but there is such joy seeing God use His people, especially his youth, to break through the darkness. It has been amazing to see our youth from […]
Building Community
Reflecting back on this last week, I’m realizing just how much God cares about the details. I can see just how much He loves each and every one of us and works out an amazingly intricate plan to bring us closer to Him and make us more like Him. This week, the community of Santiago […]
Standing Firm in Faith
Recently I had the opportunity to visit Kentucky as I was blessed to participate in a couple of beautiful weddings (To my sister and one of my best friends, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special days). I was really looking forward to the chance to catch up with […]
Home Sweet Home?
In just a few days, we will be boarding a plane and heading to the United States for a three week visit with family and friends. It has been over a year since the last time our family spent any amount of time in the United States in our home states of Kentucky and Ohio, […]
