Brian

I love that Brian and I both have a heart for missions. You know, when we first started dating he said he would “never go on a foreign mission trip” because we had needs here in our own country. Well, never say never! He has since been on 2, this being his third mission trip….

Christmas at SURFCiTY

I stumbled on this video today when Jesus became my friend on Facebook. A church in Australia made this video and I am moved and inspired. I hope more churches will grab on to this type of vision. The body of Christ is global, it has no walls and no doors. We are all one…
