By: Mark What a week. This morning we loaded our vehicles and drove home after 6 days of serving the marginalized of Toronto.  I’m still processing all that I’ve learned over this past week; each new time I reflect over our time in Toronto, God seems to reveal something new to me – about himself, [...]

By: Nate Getty Today was full of emotion. Our last day and the American teams were heading out just as we hit the breakfast tables.  We were all terribly tired!  Up at the usual 7AM, we consumed breakfast in order to jump right into devos.  After that, we made our way to the soup kitchen [...]
