Training Leaders to Transform

This weekend, East European Bible College is full of life as leaders from seventeen churches across Romania and Ukraine gather for our third annual Praxis Conference. Each one has come ready to grow, connect, and return home better equipped to serve.

My phone showed me a photo from 2014 this week—and I couldn’t stop thinking about the stories behind it.

It’s just a simple group picture, but every person in it represents a piece of what God has been building over the years.

Allyssa was the only girl in the group back then. Since that day, she met Razvan, got married, and now they’re raising three kids while serving…

A Reflection on MLK

Martin Luther King was one of the most influential leaders of my lifetime.
