Remember the Children Office

One of the most meaningful moments this week didn’t happen on a stage or during a program—it happened around a dinner table.

We were sitting in the home of a Ukrainian pastor and his family, sharing a simple, homecooked meal. As the conversation unfolded, they began sharing what it’s been like to leave everything behind because of the war and start over in a new country. There was both heaviness and hope in their story, but what stood out most was their faith and their desire to keep serving others, even in the middle of rebuilding their own lives.

A Great Start to Summer

This summer began for me with a familiar joy—welcoming a small team of university students to join our missions work Romania!

Just days ago, four young women from Azusa Pacific University arrived to serve alongside RTC this summer. I could see in their faces a desire to embrace new rhythms, a different culture, and unfamiliar places. I also saw in them a resolute trust in God to work through every detail.

I turned 60 last week...

I knew the date was coming, but I didn’t expect it to feel quite like this.

Without telling me, my wife reached out to people from different seasons of my life and asked them to write. I expected a few kind birthday notes. What I didn’t expect were these to be the kind of messages that make you slow down, read twice, and quietly thank God.

Four Siblings Found Abandoned

It started as a fairly normal morning until I received a call about four siblings who had been found abandoned. They are young (12, 8, 6, and 5) and in that moment, they needed somewhere safe to go.

Have you met Savannah?

You know what’s always amazed me?

How something as simple as a college student saying “yes” to a summer can turn into something much bigger over time.

For years, we’ve had students come serve with us. They arrive not fully knowing what to expect but come willing. And somewhere along the way, something shifts. You see it in how they connect, how they listen, how they begin to care about people in a deeper way. And then, years later when you start hearing it in their stories.
