Ministry Updates

Last week I took a tour of the Global Ministry Center in Colorado Springs.  It's the headquarters for Compassion International.  I had heard it was a great place to experience the ministry of Compassion, so I went to see if it was just as advertised.

There are beautiful, life-size interactive sculptures of Jesus interacting with children as you enter the lobby.  They encourage visitors to climb into Jesus' lap and take a photo of your day at Compassion ...

I'll admit it-I sometimes struggle with exactly how to be in the world but not of it.

I'm more comfortable being around people who believe what I believe, live how I live, and act how I act. Who isn't, right?

And, what a perfect way to officially announce Spring's arrival than with the joyous call of song - Joni style!

Wednesday, we had the privilege of joining Joni and the Closer Walk Bible study group (co-taught by our own Al Sanders) at the First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton for a special connecting of fellowship.

The time together included singing (of course!), tender moments of Joni and Ken sharing about Joni's cancer journey and exciting updates on the ...
