Naming places

Naming places. Putting our experiences on the map. 

No ordinary map. 

But one detailing journey and rest. 

Marking a lifetime of walking with the Lord.

Lion in the thicket

Satan lurks. Like a lion in the thicket. 

Waiting to seize a victim. 

Cursing, deceit, and violence fill his mouth. From generation to generation. Oppression and terror? His language and modus operandi.

But into that thicket of devouring and death comes the Good Shepherd. 

Seeking the lost.

Gospel clarity

Speaking the gospel with clarity is necessary. Crossing cultures, we learn to think about the way we share. So that it’s understood.

Distorted perceptions of the gospel put up barriers. Foster misleading rumors. Confusing those who live in spiritual darkness. Sometimes for generations.

One volunteer team encountered a false perception as they provided disaster relief.
