My friend Edward arrives from Kenya today for the weekend. We are gong to have another thanksgiving feast [...]

The stories from last Sunday are beginning to make it to my in box. Close to 100 of us left the church on Sunday and served the city of Maricopa. Most of the stories are very unexpected, kind of like the Kingdom of God. Interesting that about half of the stories are about what happened [...]

Wow! What a morning we had on Sunday. It was so good to see so many of you show up to a elementary school that disguises itself as a church on Sunday, and then leave it to go serve.
Keeping with the theme of the last 5 months or so, some unexpected things happened. I learned [...]
