He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. - Jim Elliot
Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God. -William Carey
Jesus of Nazareth: “but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.’” Kids are a blessing and I have the privilege of spending 2 hours with 20 kids on Wednesday nights. I am always shocked by the spiritual emptiness within children nowadays. The [...]
This summer the Lord blessed me with the privilege to lead the Orphan Angels Motor Cycle Sunday School Mission Team to Zambia, Africa. I cannot begin to tell of the numerous things I learned being a leader of this unique team. Our team traveled by motorcycle from Sunday School to Sunday School in the bush [...]
This summer (2011) I was able to be one of two leaders who led the Mongolia team! We had nine team members join us on the journey half-way across the world. We renovated an apartment in the middle of the capital city Ulan Bataar, and spent time at a summer house outside of the city. [...]
Greetings in the name of our Savior, My (Amyann’s) group was the third to head out. We left at 12:30pm. On the first day we walked about 6-7 miles. This was the hardest day because our bodies were getting used to the weight of our back packs. Because we did not want to set up [...]

The purpose of this trip was to develop leadership, survival skills, and to bond the group together. After finishing the hike, we drove up to Indiana to [...]
Day 1: Ouch. Nicknaming ourselves “The Bowls of Wrath” (Allie, Carly, Sarah, Ema, Heather, Sam, and JT) we headed out on the trail at 11 am; second to leave of the four groups. JT led the group and Sam was the rear. The beginning of the hike was easy being that we were all excited [...]
We were the first ones out of the trail and going through it was tough at first. Most of us agree that if we were by ourselves we would have turned back. But we had each other to lean on, so we pushed forward. We did close to 9 miles that first day. We crossed [...]
The experience on the trail was a great success for the students. They were pushed to their ends. Physically and prayerfully they were drawn to the Lord and they learned that there are other people that they need to look after and help care for. Our group consisted of: Andy, Jesse, Emily, Emanuel, David, and [...]
