The Love Arlington Small Group speaks out!
I am drawn to the Gospel because of the density of the stories and teaching, and I am consistently enthralled with Jesus’s love and service to the marginalized. Of course Jesus interacted with priests, leaders, and the wealthy, but it is obvious that Jesus intended to interact with and engage with those less fortunate. Likewise, […]
Reflections on West Virginia
Hey Restoration, Last week, an awesome team of 23 folks from Restoration went to Philippi, WV to volunteer with Appalachian Community CARE. We assisted two families and one church, and the projects included renovating two bedrooms, pouring footings for the foundation of a trailer, installing a French drain and building a storage shed. We also […]
Chafing Truth
Oh, how we giggled, Kristen and I, especially late at night as we reflected on our day’s adventures throughout the Asia Minor trip. I can’t function on so little sleep without getting pretty giddy at times. I could barely contain my laughter at how obviously out of my element I was during one particularly challenging […]

From our Cairo Correspondent
Working in Cairo this week, I got back to my hotel room late Tuesday evening, I found a large bouquet of flowers and a bowl of fruit, and wondered why the hotel had given me that? The card that came with the flowers told a different story: it was a welcome gift from the Stephen’s […]
From Lies to Light – New ID Small Group
I like to think I can tell lies from truth, but it is surprisingly difficult at times. The hardest lies to decipher are often the one that swarm around inside of our heads, trapping us in dark places and keeping us away from the light of truth. On April 24 I will start leading New […]
