Sign Up TodayJesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. - Luke 23:43 (KJV)
When I was hiking in the woods one early spring day, the sky was overcast. The scenery was full of bleak, leafless trees. As I climbed a hill, a gust of wind turned my thoughts to sadness and melancholy. God seemed far away from me at that moment.
But suddenly...
Even in times of sadness, God sends messages of hope and joy.

I join many of those who will pray for you as you seek to discern what you are called to be at this moment. May God grant you the courage to fulfill that calling. May we all open our eyes and see the misery, open our ears and hear the cries of God’s people, and, like God through the Lord Jesus Christ, be incarnate amongst them.”
