Lessons from Costa Rica
There are moments in life when you don’t just see differently—you begin to feel differently. Our time serving in Costa Rica was one of those moments.

The Holy Spirit & Me
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons (daughters) of God. (Rom 8:14) NKJV. It is God’s desire and design that we are led by Him in our lives. Not only to seek His direction in the big and significant but also in the small details of our everyday…
