Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace.

The Stoned Life
A group of living stones gathered to learn their role as priests for others and thereby declare God’s glory to the clueless and faithless living in Liberia last week. Living as water-giving stones for Jesus intertwined as a sub-theme for . . .
Ascents of Faith

Ascended Faith
Recently a young couple married. In greeting Verlin on announcing the planned wedding day months ago, the engaged stated, ‘I still remember the banana!’ It took Verlin a moment, but then he remembered. Inciting a . . .
Dynamic Difference
This week on African soil, we united with Ivorian co-laborers who share the dynamic and heroic desire to see God’s Kingdom revealed in Cote d’Ivoire.

Light and Lift
A recent report revealed the activity of a new CHE team in the west formed by some of whom we’ve trained.

Taking cue from our update two weeks ago, we choose this week to rejoice in the goodness of God. His faithfulness never ends. His mercies renew every morning! Rejoice with us! Pray the Lord oversees the ordering of our tasks and events as we return to Cote d’Ivoire.
