Yesterday we were at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada. Point Pelee is the southernmost part of continental Canada, a point that juts into Lake Erie. It was a good time to be there as the southern migration is taking place. Lots of [...] Tonight will be a fun night. I was given a Christmas gift to visit a restaurant in downtown Indianapolis by my daughters Nicole and Andrea, and our son-in-law Greg.

Community transformation happens when people get together for a common purpose, when it is their vision, and importantly, if they can see a spiritual value to what they are doing. Hope is a strong motivator. That [...] We have just released a brand new book in time for this year’s North American Christian Convention at which missionary Mary Kamau will be featured. Mary is the Director of the Hope Partnership project in Nairobi, Kenya. The Birth of Hope is a coffee-table book with great photographs and a compelling fictional account of a boy [...] Here is what I learned from the book, Ordinary Man, Extrordinary Mission: The Life and Work of E.
