We're not all "called" to fly all over the world. Often it's just called to action within our spheres of influence. Does our neighbor, co worker, family member need and extra set of hands? Some groceries? A hand up? Or maybe just someone to listen to them, truly hear them? May we be those people!

Team made it home safe very late Saturday night. We are grateful to God for his provision, for relationships built, for hearts and lives changed. And for those that pray! Please continue to pray with us as Honduras and the region still dealing with the destruction from tropical storm Sara. Many are without electricity, internet, food, transportation. Many roads and bridges washed out, entire crops lost. In the developing world, this will take years to fix. Join us in praying for all those affected as we look to respond in love!
