We were doing ministry along Canal Street in New Orleans when we saw a familiar face from last year, a man named Smitty, in a yellow shirt. He was preaching the Word of God with a bullhorn. As soon as he recognized us, he gave us all hugs, overjoyed to see us again. Last year, we listened to him to ensure he was speaking the truth, reciting the five verses from Romans. This year, we did the same thing. After we finished, a woman stepped into our circle. She spoke truth and encouraged our...

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who prayed for and encouraged us during our first mission trip to Los Angeles last week. This was our 30th mission trip in 19 years of ministry. We are grateful for the God-given opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to serve alongside the staff and volunteers at Serve LA. They have an incredible heart and vision for “seeing the unseen,” a motto they frequently use. We loved hearing them say to the guests we served,...

We love Sunday morning relational outreach! Would you like to join us?

Today, I was outside the rescue mission and met a man named Ron. Originally from South Carolina, Ron had moved to San Francisco in the 60s because he believed he would be more accepted there. We had an engaging conversation for almost an hour about his adventures around the world. Ron had traveled extensively and had a wealth of unique life experiences. Although he didn’t delve into specifics, he mentioned that he had once been wealthy but made some poor choices that led him to struggle...

On our mission trip to San Francisco over spring break, we encountered stories that echoed the compassion and grace of Jesus. From the streets of the Tenderloin to conversations with individuals like L.L. and Ron, we saw reflections of people whom Jesus might have met and ministered to in the Bible. Just as Jesus showed love and forgiveness to the woman at the well and countless others, we shared moments of hope and acceptance with those we met. No one is beyond God’s love and forgiveness,...

2023 NYC mission trip story: What we did today? We went to this super awesome church and worshipped. Then we went and got Starbucks! We also all got beanies and saw protesters. My favorite part of the day was praying for Will. He is a homeless man that loves to read. He also said that he was in a rock ‘n’ roll band. I gave him a Life book and he told us about him and his girlfriend. He also told us about how he grew up and what his life was like as a kid. He said that he went to Sunday...
