When Feeling Fades
How do we, as Christians, cope with constant exposer to great need, depravity, violence, and gore? What happens when we as a society lose feeling?
The Missionary Scent
What scent are you leaving behind when you serve overseas? Is it a pleasant aroma or a prideful stench? May our serving be to others a glimpse of Heaven!
Autumn Bucket List
Here are some meaningful autumn bucket list ideas to make this season count.
The Married Missionary (overcoming the lie that single service is more Holy)
Naturally, when God started to work on my heart and stoke a desire in me to go on to the mission field, I wrestled with the idea of singleness. As that fiery 16 year old about to leave home, I made my choice, because in my mind it was an either or situation.
