“Wake up!” has been our cry this year: To Christians tired of a habitual religion, Wake up! To young people numbed by countless discipleship ministries teaching vital principles that never stick...

Training Camp…where it all began. Picture yourself packing your car to go on vacation. You look at all the stuff you’re bringing, and you know there is no way to make it all fit. But in the end it all gets in...

Beautiful! Gorgeous! There’s no one word that can describe Islamorada! Islamorada, Florida was the third stop on the Mission Trip, and the first time we ran a full workshop. This being the first...

We saw the definition of Revival at our second workshop in Pace, Florida. We arrived in Pace on Thursday June 23, 2005. When we hopped out of the van we were greeted with open arms by...

Do you want to multiply your joy? Do you long to see God in Action on behalf of other people? Then pray for the desires of your heart. I had just this kind of joy on the Southeast Mission Trip. Let me...

“Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” (Romans 12:13) I have had many opportunities to practice hospitality from my own home in Virginia. I’ve even practiced on several...

This is a story of how incredible things happen, a story of how God can do things which don’t make sense to us, but in the end the picture fits together so well it couldn’t possibly be better. Do you...

Why does God want us here? We sat on the floor in a (thankfully) airconditioned entryway of the Teen Challenge building in Jupiter, Florida. After twelve-plus days of praying for God’s hand to lead us...

We arrived in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi on the late Sunday afternoon of June 26th, 2005. Bay St. Louis was quite unlike our previous stop in Pace, Florida. It was different in that we wouldn’t...

IMPACT! That is the only way to describe what happened in McAllen, Texas: there was a collision. God made a difference there in ready hearts; the collision left a mark. Come with us and inspect...

Matthew 16:24: “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If any of you want to come with me, you must forget yourself, carry your cross, and follow me’”This is exactly what all ten of us did when we left the comfort...

Our next stop, and certainly one of our favorites, was Kissimmee Florida- not pronounced “Kiss-a-me,” but “Ki-semee.” Kissimmee has a large retired population, and so we had many...

One of the most exciting stops for me on our trip was in Brandon, Florida. Our housing in Brandon was arranged by a man named Jim Kelley. Mr. Kelley is a missionary both in and out...

I was very excited when I heard we would be staying and working on a ship for a few days. Friend Ships is a completely faith-based ministry made up of a group of people dedicated to meeting...

Back home! Well, not our actual home, but rather Branson, now a sort of home away from home. We had a very warm welcome, but even after a five-week mission trip we went straight to work...
