These posts are an archive of thoughts & reflections on the subjects of prayer, missions, and hunger. Mostly they are written by us, but occasionally, we find something that we’d like to share. We pray this adds to your understanding and growth in Christ.
After a nearly two year hiatus (early 2016 – summer of 2-18), we have restored this site and it is meant to be a resource, and we trust you find help here in building you up and encouraging you in your walk as a follower of Jesus. Join us as we continue to learn more and follow Him.
