Can you hear it?

A hushed moan. A blanket of darkness quells the cry.

                                                                             SILENCE…

                        A BILLION souls…screaming for truth.

A billion men, women and children living and dying without ever once hearing the name of Jesus.

The nations are shouting out in desperation, yearning for 

                                               PEACE
        
             TRUTH

                                                                     LOVE

                                                                                                         HOPE

How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?

A few friends and I are answering this call as we pledge to leave all things common. We dare to venture into the unknown and unfamiliar lands where the gospel is less than known. We have tasted and seen the need, now we put our hand to the plow in achieving the Great Commission.  Equipped with the love of Christ and the promises of God, we endeavor to trek the majestic Himalayas of Nepal and journey the ancient holy city of Varanasi.

The love of Christ compels us to GO and boldly proclaim the good news to those who have yet to hear.

The TASK lay before us to love courageously all we encounter with a Christ-likeness. We go to feed the hungry, to heal the sick, to care for the distressed, to set the captive free, to bind up the broken hearted.

                                                Missions is my calling. 

Both hands gripping my cross, the pleasures of the world behind me. The fullness of JOY before me.
                                 I follow my Savior all the way. 

  Fearless.
