We didn’t start out with 5 loaves and 2 fishes, BUT we did feed 50,000 people! How? Operation Inasmuch, Kids Against Hunger (the local affiliate: A Child’s Hope), and the North American Christian Convention (NACC) co-hosted a service project at the recent NACC conference in Cincinnati. In four 1-hour shifts, about 250 men, women, and children […]
The Hard Truth
A revolution is a movement — usually a radical and exciting movement — to change something: the government, one or more leaders as we have seen in the “Arab spring,” or longstanding cultural traditions such as the Civil Rights movement in the U.S. a few decades ago.

How to Change a Homeless Man’s Life (Part 2)

Our society has become so consumer-oriented that this question surfaces whenever we […]
How to Change a Homeless Man’s Life
What does it take to transform the life of a homeless man? I didn’t read Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore to answer that question, but it’s one lesson I learned from this amazing book, a book I could not put down, a book that had me laughing one minute and crying the […]

New Office and New Phone
We’ve experienced a lot of change recently, including our move to a new location. We sadly left an awesome situation where we shared an office with wonderful friends.
