Helping Women Find Their Passion, Purpose and Power in Christ
I reread the message in my inbox, just to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.

But now, here was my friend, Brother Martin, asking if we could help. “Will […]
As we enter this Advent Season, it feels like there’s just a lot going on. Christmas shopping, special concerts and programs to attend for little ones, winter sports and finals for students, fewer daylight hours, and a general sense that time is accelerating when we’re not looking. There are countless opportunities to experience God at […]
As we charge forward into the hustle and bustle of the holidays, my heart hurts for those who do not get to experience some of the blessings of the season.

I love summertime! There is so much to enjoy in the summer, but one of the things I enjoy the most about living in the Pacific Northwest is the bounty of berries and fruits that we get to enjoy.
