LCW and the Great Commission by Chinelle Flood
Who do you say I am? Jesus posed this question to his disciples one day after asking what others said about him. The answers varied from a former prophet to a resurrected locust-eater. Not all the answers were wrong per se. He was a prophet, and he was certainly a good teacher, but He was…
Ramir Calingacion: The Strength to Overcome
As an 8-year-old child, Ramir was acutely aware of life’s difficulties.

The Race to 1000 Sponsored Children
1000 sponsored children. This is a goal we have dreamed about for many years. From our foundation with just 8 little boys from the streets, we have helped one child at a time escape poverty and abuse. 1000 once felt outlandish and unattainable, but God has been good for nearly 40 years. Now, we are…
A Hand Up to a Better Future: Grades, SWAP, and Participation
