Are you ready to answer the call of compassion? Will you go where it hurts? The need for compassion has never been more urgent. Refugees fleeing wars and economic disaster. Aids orphans.

Did You Say ‘Grand Canyon’?
Phos House Evangelism Day – Pt 2 “A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of having a time to do evangelism with some of my housemates. Together, we decided to walk along the lake shore trail to see if the Lord would lead us to anyone. As we were on our way, we walked past two African American men …
