Who has the greatest reward?
I love stories of life change. The impact simple actions of love can make in the lives of others. Some come out of deep relationship and trust built over months and even year’s of time, but others need hope right now. They need a divine intersection with someone...Serving the Mission
Wanted to share something I have shared with our leaders at Open Life about serving the mission. Romans 12:1–2 (NIV84) Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual...That branch will cost you!
