This team could not have chosen a better name, Small but Mighty. They were small, but they were mighty. They were only five-man team, but they were able to accomplish so much in a very short period of time. While they were here, they were hard at work at our ranch, Ein Gedi. They finished harvesting the last …
What does it mean to be standing in the gap? What is the meaning of Ezekiel 22:30? In chapter 22 of Ezekiel, God is describing the disastrous state of Israel at that time and the sins they had committed against Him. And towards the end of the chapter, verse 30 says, “And I sought for …

It never fails to amaze us that when we read through the surveys completed by mission team members, usually one or two will mention how much they enjoyed the food. For the most part, this is not restaurant food nor frozen meals. Here at the church we have a volunteer team that cooks four out …
