Trusting in Christ one day at a time.
There’s a funny thing that happens when you work in ministry: the people you serve often expect to receive something from you without realizing how much they give back. The fact of the matter is anyone who studies God’s word and makes an effort to learn it has a promise: His word will not return […]
Today we shucked corn. We sat around in small circles a bucket on our laps and corn in our hands. As each one of us worked individually, grain by grain, we also worked together. When all the buckets are full and all the cobs are empty we will all say together that the work is […]
Living as a cross-cultural worker I often feel the tension of a life in constant transition. Work doesn’t look the same for me day to day or even month to month. Relationships begin and end as fellow ex-pats move back to the US or my place of service shifts. And often times it can feel […]
