This was an evangelism mission trip that took us to remote villages in the South East of Lake Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church Tanzania. The one way trip each day was 2 hours over […]

Joy in Haiti
“In Christ Alone” was the theme for this year’s National LCMS Youth Gathering. The first day focused on true joy, the kind of joy that stays no matter what, the joy that is ours in Christ alone. On my recent trip to Haiti the joy the children in Haiti have stood out to the entire […]
