Freedom Tour – Page 41

One Hand

I’ve been showing you the handprints of our kids. We can’t show their faces. They live in a place where showing pictures, listing names, even naming the country would magnify the danger they already face from the traffickers. So the handprints are a way of creating a sense that we’re personally connected. However, 22 handprints […]

One Kid At A Time

I don’t read as many books as I should. During our brief Christmas vacation I devoured FINDING CHIKA by Mitch Albom. It’s a delightful, heartwarming – and heartbreaking – tale of what happens when love steps across the artificial boundaries we place in its path. FINDING CHIKA, on one level, follows Mitch Albom’s faith journey […]

Thanks

Gratitude is a good way to begin a decade.

This Simple

Seek Justice. As we look toward a new year. As we prepare for FREEDOM TOUR 2020. As we absorb and process the news. I keep thinking about this central message of scripture. Seek justice. Do what you can to set things right from a kingdom perspective. But what, exactly, does that mean? May I ask […]

Which Peace?

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.” Last time I said Jesus holds each child at the HOME OF HOPE in His hands. I said He cares for them one-at-a-time in some mysterious, miraculous way we can’t understand. Honestly, I wish He would […]

About Looking Deeper

“What’s the story…behind the story?” Our pastor asked that question this weekend. I thought about these hand prints. There’s this whole wonderful story about the HOME OF HOPE and a community of rescued kids living in hope and freedom. I love that story, but Jeff’s question reminded me that this is much more than a […]

Nasty

Imagine being born in a stinky, nasty place surrounded by chaos. And then imagine, after you survived, powerful political leaders considered you a threat and wanted to kill you. Our neat little nativity scene is a bit misleading. It wasn’t all rainbows and smiles surrounded by a heavenly glow from the star. It was an […]

About Taking Time

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday. Ever since the turkey settled, we’ve been buried under an avalanche of one-time-only, gotta-hurry-before-they’re gone “bargains.” It’s all marketing, a scheme designed to create a sense of urgency and scarcity. These *holidays* reinforce the perception that there’s not enough for everyone. Better jump in before you’re left out, […]

The Big Reveal

I hope you’re excited to see what we’ve been up to. I also hope you’ll take a few moments to check it out and consider how you might join us. Just one nudge, if you’re an out-of-towner: Northern Colorado is a beautiful place for cycling. Last year folks came from at least 4 different states […]
