Our Ministries

“My husband went to heaven after a tragic accident at work. He was the coolest person. He gave and sacrificed so much for us. What an example of an everyday Jesus in our lives. My heart aches so much. And the pain cuts to the core. The smallest things make me think of him. The photos, memories, foods we shared, the things we discussed in private, the adoring gaze. They’re all hurtful yet beautiful to remember. He never thought he was a good enough father or husband, but I knew just how special he was. And now the kids and I share all the ways that we miss this special person in our lives.”                                                                                                                      

“Not say goodbye, but see you later, my love. I know I will see you again in heaven. For you it may be sooner, for me it may feel like forever, but I know it’s coming and in that I take heart.” Sad as the words from the lady who had just lost her husband, are words of hope. This is the hope that colors Paul’s words as he comes to the end of his ministry. He is going to be killed by Emperor Nero, he knows his time is coming soon, yet his assurance of heaven shrinks every challenge into nothingness. He sees it opening a door into eternity, face to face with his Lord who he has served faithfully from the day he encountered him on the Damascus Road.
