Yep! On February 21, Madeline Grace Hill came into this world.

I can’t describe how grateful I am to our Lord, and how proud I am of the way [...]

by Craig Schmidle on February 22, 2009

Well it has been a while since I have posted a blog. A lot has happened since my last blog, including God calling me to a new ministry area and a move cross country.  There are very few things as frustrating as packing and unpacking, except maybe a moving truck getting caught in an ice [...]

Christians Persecuted in India

by Mark Morris on February 20, 2009

From our North American worldview, we gloss over any thoughts of Christians being persecuted.  Yet Christians have been under fire for years in Orissa, and other areas of India. It is simply hard for us to believe.
If you want to be humbled…if you want to understand the cost of discipleship…if you need motivation to pray [...]

Today I’m posting the first of three articles paying tribute to a lady I’ve had to privilege of hearing about, then watching from a distance, and briefly serving along side of in the same region, but always admiring and learning from.

Serious about Missional Communities

by Mark Morris on February 9, 2009

Austine Stone Community Church is radical about their small groups being missional.
They’ve created a brand new blog spot to serve their missional communities.
They are also serious about training and equiping for those groups. They’ve taken on specific unreached people groups and social/spiritual causes for the kingdom.
I love the variety of tools and articles they’ve posted [...]
