Isn’t it odd how we Canadians take such a long time to trust each other enough to build a relationship, yet it sounds like the missions team built quick friendships with the workers and families in Leon. As cautious Canadians, can we learn something from this? (more…)

“Sometimes, you mess up. Sometimes you disappoint other people. Sometimes, you have someone who doesn’t like you, no matter what you choose to do.
Why is it we get so wrapped up in that person? If I read or hear multiple amazing or charitable things about myself, but there’s one jerkbag, I think about that jerkbag all night long.” (more…)

Read 2 Timothy 1:7
Strength is not something we talk about much in the church. We talk about grace, wisdom, love friendships and family, but strength, power, justice, and sovereignty sometimes gets ignored.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a tree tried to grow on its own power.

In fact, you might be holding me back at this point, I’m going to try it on my own from now.”
Well, you probably haven’t considered it because its ridiculous. As soon as the tree stops taking in sunlight, water and nutrients from the ground it dies. As soon as the tree dies it no longer creates the oxygen needed by so many other things. In the same way we need to have people around us, (more…)
