I have been asked the same questions several times in the last couple weeks, so I decided to answer them all at the same time. Here goes: 1.Why do you go on mission trips? The book of James says, “This is true religion—to help widows and orphans in their distress.” Jesus tells us, “Go into [...]

Favorite Books of 2009

One little life-changing question….
