That’s a tough nut to crack, I mused to myself, reflecting on the monumental challenge of leading devout Buddhists to Christ. In fact, I don’t think anyone has really solved this problem satisfactorily. My reflection was a reaction to Grandma Chid’s recitation of her spiritual disciplines. “I get up at…
Two are better than one . . . a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). If a threefold cord is not quickly broken, how much stronger is one with countless cords? This is the story of just four of the numerous cords intertwined for eternal rewards. Cyndi’s faith…
This week, our new health ministry project, Seed Cafe, hosted three days of taste-testing for our friends and neighbors to try the menu items and give us feedback. For the first time, guests were coming through our doors, sitting at our tables, and tasting the dishes Chef Bep has been…

In the great commissions we find in the Bible, “blessing” is a fundamental factor in the mission of reaching others. We see it when God blesses Adam and Eve and asks them to be fruitful and multiply to spread the blessing (Genesis 1:28). God gives a similar blessing to Noah…
“Are you sure we’re ready for this?” I asked Caitlyn as we peered at the small house before us. “Not really,” she replied. “Okay. Great. Let’s go.” We walked toward the house. The Sabbath adventure began before we even reached the door. An older man saw us through the front…
“Come here,” the military immigration officer said, exiting his office. I held my breath. Embarking to Himadria entails diving into many experiences.
