Living His way

This one goes out to the world changers, shining their light in the face of danger. A word that God has given our team this year is to focus on the living stones. His bride, his people. People through whom he is making the impossible happen in the nations. Our team had an incredible time and we were sad as the first half of our journey came to an end. We laughed, we cried and we faced many challenges, but most of all we got to be a part of what God is doing in the churches all over the...

So here it is. Our first official team Westbound blog. After sending some as forerunners, our whole team finally arrived safely in Turkey.  Training has been both challenging and exciting.

One of our host Pastors in Cebu was a quiet man but a great spiritual leader who is very passionate about sharing the love of Jesus. He came, shook and broke some of our ideas of what a life of ministry looks like. While on Olango Island we experienced God at work in everyday life. We saw how He sustains us when we...

First, we went to Bethlehem. While living with the Coptic nuns and serving them in Bethlehem our hearts were touched while working in the garden of one of the grottos and serving them the best we could. We formed so many relationships with local people from Bethlehem and could bring clarity to a lot of Christians who had questions about suffering and with questions such as,''What does it mean to have a relationship with Jesus?''  Our time in Jerusalem passed with spreading New Testament Bibles to people from all nations translated in their native language.   We gave a Chinese...
