From Russia, With Love

We have just returned safely from a wonderful trip to Ekaterinburg, Russia to visit our partners in Ministry at First United Methodist Church in Ekaterinburg. We were thankful to have Sam Speed, a videographer, traveling with us, and at the end of each day, he created a video blog to summarize our experiences.

We have just returned from a wonderful week in Ecuador. I could write to tell you about all of the wonderful people we served alongside and the beauty of this amazing country...but instead, why not watch and learn about how God is working in this mile-high city!

Miracles & Faith

In January, I had the opportunity to travel to Uganda. My life will never be the same... Not only were the children amazing... Not only was the landscape beautiful... Not only was the hospitality and friendship incredible... I also sat down with three individuals who will forever have a place in my heart.

Grab lunch, put your feet up, open your heart, and listen to these testimonies of faith. God is indeed alive and active. Miracles happen everyday.




Not Another Video?!
