May 29, 2014. “My anger is hot against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the Lord of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his majestic steed in battle.” (Zechariah 10:3) Are you a leader in the church? Do you teach? Before I start into…

Timothy’s charge.
May 27, 2014. “As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our…
Why is it, Lord?
May 24, 2014. Lord God above all that ever is, Praise and honor are due you. To him who sits on the throne of heaven, Let all creation praise as is due. Why is it, Lord, why is it so? We are unworthy to call your name. Why is it, Lord, why is it so?…
Omnipotence.
May 23, 2014. Today was our day off and a group of us went to Leon to surf down a volcano (and by ‘surf,’ it was really just sledding down the side). The hike up the volcano was tiring, but it was totally worth it. To see the world from that perspective was amazing. It…
The Jonah you never knew.
May 22, 2014. Today was our last day at the English Language Academy, but hopefully we sowed enough seed to have some of our readers come to the party we are having tomorrow or the campaign we are having in the first week of June. If you don’t normally read my blog, I am currently…
The cost of discipleship.
May 21, 2014. Today it rained. Such a simple sentence, but what an impact it had on our mindset. We had just finished teaching English at the academy and we got back to the church went it decided to downpour. It was honestly the happiest I have been all trip. I was ecstatic. After we…
The devastation of pride.
May 20, 2014. This trip already seems like it is flying by. I’m trying to savor the moments, but as is with all good times, they seem to be quickly fleeting. I cannot say enough about the people here in the church. We have been more than taken care of daily. They know how to…
Hosea.
May 19, 2014. Today we started our English lessons with the readers who wanted to learn English, and I would say it was a success. We had to do an impromptu VBS type ordeal in the afternoon because so many kids showed up who we weren’t prepared for entirely. Tomorrow we should be ready if…
Two by two.
May 7, 2014. Day two of Nicaragua and I think things are going great! Today we spilt up into three groups, one went to the academy to teach english, one went door knocking in the community and one went to members houses. I was with the group that visited members houses. It was really cool…
The harvest is white.
May 16, 2014. Today was our first day in Nicaragua and I am very excited to be here. It is so great to know that there are Christians here in a completely different country that I can call part of my family. Some people might say that short term mission work is of little to…
Nicaragua.
May 15, 2014. I am about to head out of the country for a little less than four weeks on a mission trip to Nicaragua. I’ve very excited to get this opportunity again to travel to around around the world and visit with fellow Christians who have a different language and a different culture, but…
