January 2015

Living the Dream.  January is a great month for dreamers. The beginning of a new year tends to bring with it a fresh scent of hope in the air and a renewed belief that all things are indeed possible with God. It seems only fitting, then, that this is the month when we pay special honor to the life, ministry and memory of one of the greatest dreamers in American history.

If you join us in one of these sites, you will be invited to count the cost of living a missionary life at home, you will be given practical strategies to begin engaging your home mission field, and you will be challenged to take steps toward the people to whom God is sending you...

At this time we are so thankful-thankful that God didn’t give us all the answers up front, thankful for the phenomenal sons we have, thankful for our partners in ministry, and exceptionality thankful...
