My aching heart swells with pride when I see the students of this school look beyond themselves to care for the “least of these.”

When it comes to “holidays,” what matters is gathering together. So yes, it is good to gather with your family, BUT family can be more than just the people you are related to.

We greeted each other in different languages and spoke with so many accents, but the joy and love of the Lord is universal and completely understood even when language fails.

We should always make time to fellowship with other Christians and to seek God’s will for our lives. Typically, that requires getting away from the things that distract us, so that we can give God our full attention.

I had felt for a while that I wanted to serve God's church outside Europe. I wanted to serve God and see his good work in a different culture.

What do you do when God changes your direction? What should you do when you are putting all your efforts into something, and then the Lord tells you to stop?

While it’s easy for us to fall into the routine of ministry, and even more specifically, the routine of our roles, the danger is that we become comfortable in the “usual” and forget to recognize when God is preparing us to do a new thing!

It is always surprising to me how other forms of communication become so much more important when language disappears. I begin to see how a look or a pat on the back can communicate love.

The purposefulness behind camp and the care put into every aspect set the tone for camp as a whole. We were not just going to do a camp that was good, we wanted to do a camp that was great.

I have never felt more out of my depth…

For much of my life, I lacked a passion to see people believe in Christ. I believed in him, sure, but I did not think too much about those who did not. The more I seek the Lord, though, the heavier the lives of others weigh on my heart.

In 2009, a local Methodist pastor named Laci, from Zsolnok Hungary, decided he would like to try and find a vacation home for his family to get away from the city.
