What a day! We kicked things off this morning well-rested, fueled by some great NYC coffee, and gathered together for worship. Pastor Isaac led us in the Word, focusing on Psalm 150 — “Praise the Lord!” — reminding us to give God glory in all things. We also heard from...

Today marked our first full day of evangelism here in New York City, and what a day it was! We kicked off the morning with worship and training, getting our hearts and minds ready for the work ahead. Afterward, our team leader handed out materials, and we headed to Union...

What a full and powerful first day in New York City! We kicked off the morning with a solid breakfast and got officially registered with SpreadTruth, the ministry we’re partnering with this week.

What an exciting start to our mission trip! We kicked things off at the church at 8:30 AM, where Pastor Jimmy sent us off with prayer and encouragement — a powerful way to begin this journey! Our drive to Chicago was rainy and adventurous, and though the storm caused a...

Now knowing the missionaries, it’s no surprise that they planned for us to visit a non profit called Fount for Nations on the morning of our departure. We met the cofounder, Patience, who is a member of RBC. Patience’s husband is completing school to be a doctor. Together they were...

Sunday is the day of worship for believers around the world. Like many of you, we participated in Sunday morning worship services. The team was split into two groups between RBC and GBC. This morning, Jimmy preached his sermon on 2 Kings 6 to the congregation at RBC. During the...

Our quick pace seems to be catching up with many of the team members. A few are fighting colds and others are tired, low on energy, or simply slowing down. Despite this consensus, each team member joyfully joined in the tasks for today. First, we had the privilege of participating...

Today our main agenda was to encourage the missionaries—Newton & Kondi, and their families. Vanessa and Patricia (their wives) have served us tirelessly the entire week. From waking at the rooster’s first crow preparing breakfast, to popping batches of popcorn for a late night snack—these ladies are the lifeblood of...

Today tested our flexible excellence in all the right ways. Our morning plan to visit the men’s prison changed, so our hosts thought we might enjoy seeing the sights of an outdoor market. After some of the team had a mishap at an  immigration stop, Patricia (Kondi’s wife) saved the day by producing...

“Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ Our morning began with the continued lavish hospitality of our hosts.

The Lord’s hand has been evident on our team each day, and today was no exception. Again, the children were already waiting in the parking lot of RBC, dancing, laughing, and running, as our van pulled up. It was impossible to be tired or sleepy while being greeted by their...

Today was day 1 of VBS at RBC. God has smiled on us! Even the chickens who wander around the front yard seemed chirper as we headed out with expectant hearts for what the Lord would do today. When we pulled into the bumpy RBC parking lot (40 minutes early)...

What riches of kindness He’s lavished on us! What a blessed Lord’s day we had. Ten members of the team joined Kondi at Grace Bible Church (GBC). Jimmy preached on 2 Kings 6, where Elisha miraculously recovers the borrowed axehead from the Jordan. God sees and cares about our normal every...

The sky was still dark at 3am, as the Malawi team gathered in the parking lot of the church to load the final bags into the trailer and begin our long journey to African soil.  The 18 of us prayed our final send-off with many tired and some teary eyes of...

The Know Their Story initiative has been all about learning to notice and love the people around you. It’s about stepping into conversations where others feel safe enough to share deeply with you—not just so you can see if the door is open to share the gospel, but because you...
