We Rise as One – Funding Partnership with Compassion
Compassion is a key ministry partner of our church and we want to support their “We Rise As One” campaign that is raising money to address COVID-19 related needs in developing countries, including Nicaragua where we are involved; Our church has decided to match our people’s giving to We Rise As One up to $10,000. Over the next three weeks, the church will give a dollar for every dollar that our people give (Note: We need to have this wrapped up by the end of this fiscal year which ends July 31). Our goal is to raise a total of $20,000 for We Rise As One.
We desire to passionately follow the Father and be transformed into His likeness.

Community in the midst of Covid-19
When we first closed the church campus, I envisioned the day when we would be able to return. I imagined a celebration: greeting those I had not seen for a long time, Bridge-Builders getting to see the faces and shake the hands of the people they had been calling, our...
Depending on God
How do you know if you are making a good decision? That is a question that worries me everyday in the middle of our topsy-turvy world. When I am making decisions – particularly strategic ones for this church family that I love – I long to know all the...
Things Change
An old saying says something like ‘Well, when I was younger, we walked to school both ways up hill and in the snow every day of the year.’ The tale can continue to describe the struggle that the generation before us had. It was hard and harder and more challenging...
They are Precious in His sight
When I was growing up, a popular chorus was often sung in our church that celebrated God’s love of human life, emphasizing that all are precious in his sight no matter what their race or ethnicity. Having this song a regular part of our church’s repertoire was a...
The Glory of God
Then Daniel praised the God of heaven. He said, “Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. Daniel 2:19-21 -NLT There are many things that I do not...

I never met Ravi Zacharias. Yet, I was saddened by the news of his death on May 19, 2020. I admired his wit, gentleness, and humour. His death felt like a loss to the spread of the Gospel. He had clearly made an impact in our world for the kingdom. By the time Ravi...

2 Chronicles 7:14,15 “Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. My eyes will be open and my ears...
Looking on with Fascination
When my son Timothy was about two years old, he loved to look for anthills on summer walks. We often would find some supersized ones when we strolled in a nearby river valley park. Tim would delight in stirring up their mound with a freshly plucked branch so that he...
What’s your story?
I have had an increase in time with my family over the past months. We are currently isolated to our home from morning until night. We go to sleep and wake only to know the schedule and repetition of the days before will be similar to the day before and the day...
Lament
I came home from classes on March 17th to the reality that we were officially moving into isolation – church, ministry, relationships were moving online. Moving away. (That’s what I internalized). In those first days I remember thinking, the Israelites might have...
EFCL Leadership Board Update – April 2020
By the time you read this we will have been 7 Sundays in to our new normal of worshiping on-line, connecting via Zoom, and generally, reorganizing our lives to cooperate with all efforts to control the virus outbreak. We are sure you have had questions about how we...
Favorite Passages
One of my “all-time favorite passages” in the Bible is found in Philippians one. Here Paul is writing to some of his friends who are believers that he longs to return to. His warm memories of their time together, and his gratefulness for their recent financial gift...
