"And if you SPEND YOURSELVES on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness and your night will become like the noonday."

"The Lord will continually guide you. He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."- Isaiah 58:10-11

August 2021 Update


In a rare moment of multifaceted scheduling genius, we were all together for a few sweet days, as is evidenced by the pic above! We ate good food. We laughed. We ate more food. We cried. We talked about our lives and the many changes we've experienced over the last year. And we worked on becoming Michiganders as we explored some of the beauty in the area.

Rick Update


Rick's counseling license was approved (Yay!) and he's diving into the world of counseling. In just a few short weeks, he's felt the weight of both privilege and responsibility in walking with others as they grapple with painful life situations. He loves it and feels honored being with people as they mourn loss, as they 'see' with new eyes of understanding, and as they bravely step into growth. 


AND...!!! Rick is running the Chicago Marathon for Oasis for Orphans!  Check out his inspiring reason to run and help him reach his fundraising goal by clicking on the link here. RICK RUNS FAR


No one better to train with than Julia!
