A Life Poured Out: The Joy of Serving Beyond Ourselves
Our recent ministry trip to Mexico was a powerful reminder that true joy is found in serving others. From deep fellowship with believers to witnessing our children embrace the work of the kingdom, we saw firsthand how God’s love transforms lives. Whether through preaching, music, or simple acts of service, this journey affirmed that we were created not for self-fulfillment, but to love, give, and pour ourselves out for Christ. As we reflect on the relationships built, the lessons learned, and the grace given, we are reminded that the greatest purpose in life is to glorify God and serve His people with joy.
Faith and Cabeza de Vaca’s Miracle
This month, in November 1528, nearly 500 years ago, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and his small, dwindling band of Spanish explorers staggered ashore on what is now the coast of Texas following a catastrophic shipwreck. They were the remnants of an ambitious expedition decimated by storms and starvation. As they stumbled onto the cold, barren sands, most of their party had already perished. Only a handful remained to face an unknown world.
