Even though mission teams will always come and go, our efforts and work always continues together with so many. With our last team, friends at Christ Community Church, they took the opportunity to come alongside us and remind many that they met with, in our communities where we serve, “…even though we have to go, […]

As I began to think about this blog, even as I sit here now typing these words, I am thinking about the idea or concept of hope. Hope is such a powerful word, it seems it can lead to incredible joy or indescribable disappointment. Just try to imagine all the things throughout history, accomplished or […]

Is it possible to have a blog with only pictures? I suppose that’s where I could choose to only share on Instagram. Is it possible for me to only show pictures without any description at all?
