The life of Rahab shows how God transforms ordinary, flawed people who trust Him, regardless of their past. Rahab heard about the powerful things God had done for the Israelites.

When the King of Jericho looked for the Israeli spies, she hid them on her roof and protected them. Rahab trusted God and His promise. When the walls of Jericho fell, Rahab and her family were rescued not only from destruction, but also from a life held captive to sin.

As someone who is naturally fearful, the impact of fear continues to affect me today and sometimes it seems like an endless battle to overcome.

In the bible “do not fear” is mentioned multiple times throughout the bible. Yet how do we practically overcome our fears?

God’s Unconditional Love

This past year God has given me a greater understanding of His fatherly love through serving at Kingston-Galloway. It has been a joy and blessing to watch the kids and youth grow up, but it has also been challenging and heartbreaking walking through various seasons of change alongside them.

God’s Promise for Eternal Life

At the beginning of the year, we knew it was important to focus on God’s character before we taught the children about God’s promises. How could they put their trust in God they do not know?

Run to the Open Arms of God

My highlight of the week is when we welcome the kids back to camp after a long day of school. Every Monday we sit by the door waiting to hear children’s voices coming down the street from the yellow school bus.
