COVID-19

Excerpt from Liviu’s Journal A few nights ago, I drove past the homeless shelter where I would take the youth from our church to minister. One of the sad things that hit me was that people were being turned away at the entrance because of COVID-19 or the Coronavirus as most of us know it….

Parenting and representing Christ in our home has been something on my mind a lot lately. Setting values in your home is a very important topic when thinking about family or starting a family.

2018 Reflections

I found this letter in a box full of cards that I have saved over the years. I didn’t even know I had this until I was organizing the other day. I wrote this back in 2005 when I was 16 years old, explaining why I wanted to go on a mission trip to Romania….

Life Isn’t Easy

This week was by far one of the toughest weeks we have had to face so far in ministry. We had a situation where we tried to help someone time and time again, but in the end, they went back to their old way of life. I had such hope that this person would come…
