When Push Comes to Shove
Guest Post by Author C.A. Simonson “For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) Overwhelmed, weary, and defeated, I punched the dough hard, imagining one irritating person.

Our Calling
God invites you and me to participate in the most extraordinary mission our world has ever known, one with an impact so far-reaching that it affects eternity.
