Jimmy Johns Fast Food prides themselves on being “Freaky Fast.” Our kids [seen at JJ’s on the right] are rapidly growing, like little ones you love.

During the last two weeks of August, seven hundred thousand freshmen arrived on the college campuses in the Great Lakes Region. They are new, impressionable, finding their way, and most often open to conversations about God. We know that by the end of their first semester many will be much less open to talking about [...]
In an Asian village, a ritualistic healer stopped to listen to a man telling stories on a street corner.

Don't we (you & us) have an incredible life? We most often don't look as put together as this picture eludes we are and I bet you can also relate, right! We must step back - gain a larger view of life - and realize that we have an incredible life. Jessi and I have [...]
The first 6 weeks of classes are crucial in a college student’s life - you are mobilizing missionaries to be face-to-face with students, bringing them the Gospel.
