March 2015 Trip

While visiting an orphanage in Oradea, FFH Founder and Leader, Lewis Thomas, gave a spontaneous challenge to our team. It was a challenge that all of us needed to hear and could stand to hear regularly. It was a message so clearly from brother Lewis’ heart and one that embodies the foundation he leads. My heart was moved…perhaps yours will be as well.

I was able to capture part of it on video and so I am able to quote him verbatim. Here is what he said:

“There is no middle ground, friends. You cannot be in neutral. You are either […]

At the testimony time on the last night of the trip, Pastor Dustin shared with the group a big component to finding true joy.

It was simply amazing to talk with some of the residents, let others run their fingers through my hair, and sing – loudly, I might add – some old, faith-filled hymns together with Dustin and Jay.  I was humbled as my husband clearly presented the gospel to those who would listen, led them in a sinner’s […]

Our annual pastors’ conference was held today with a breakout session for the pastors’ wives.

I had the privilege to speak to the ladies. As a pastor’s wife myself, I can identify with these ladies’ struggles.

For those times when we are wounded by others, this progression allows us to […]
