Giving Up Control
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those that are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 NIV I was really excited when the summer staff was asked to contribute to the staff blog. Putting pen to paper (or in my case, fingers to a keyboard) […]
Changing of a Perspective
Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name. – Psalms 18:49 God never ceases to amaze me on how He can take a sinner like me and manage to bring Him glory through different circumstances. This summer was life changing to say the least. Preparing to […]

Pieces No More.
NOTE: During the months of September and October we are excited to have our summer staff missionaries take over the staff blog! Many of you have served with or been served by our summer staff and God has used each of them in tremendous ways! We are blessed to have partnered with them! “How was […]
