To lead by example isn’t easy. It takes more than words; it also requires action. There are two fathers on the Honduras Medical Mission team who have inspired their adult children to join the team. One of those fathers, Marcelo Gareca, gave this explanation of why he joined the mission, “I think the main reason […]
I approached the red light filled with anger. As I pulled to a stop, I heard a small voice inside my head say, “You don’t have room for me and you don’t even like the guy.” I immediately broke out laughing, no room for God because I allowed myself to become so preoccupied with a […]
This story has God winking at me on multiple occasions throughout the past year as God has provided for the replacement, healing and recovery of my knees and the recovery of back issues resulting from limping and not walking correctly for quite some time. God is so good! Last November 2023, I came to the […]

I was breathing hard just walking around the outside of my house! On one trip I remember going around the first corner and breathing heavy. I […]
I was going to community college taking three courses to get my two-year degree. Also working two jobs, the first from 3 to 7 and the second from 7 to 11. After a few months I was unable to keep it up. I went to the first and quit, then went to the second and […]
If I were to mention a very recent Godwink, it would come with someone’s name attached to it — Gary Stone. I was led by Gary to explore joining a discussion group that meets once a week. After talking with Gary, I made the commitment to join the group. Thank you, Gary, for allowing God […]
While I was in Florida with my friend, we volunteered at a rest station her church sponsors every year during a community festival. People are welcome to come to the Youth Center of their church and use the bathroom, get some water and sit down to rest during the heat of the day. We were […]
