Here comes my year! →
I feel so blessed to be the Volunteer Lead for Our Neighborhood Homework house, through the APU Ministry and Service office! God is good, and I have no doubt he will do great things in this place this year! I can’t wait to go love the youth of Azusa and serve alongside others with the same heart and mindset!

Be. Just Be.
He is the Provider, so he provides. He is the Comforter, so he comforts. He is the Savior, so he saves. He is the King, so he reins. He is Truth, so he reveals it. He is Love, so he lavishes it.

Be AWAKENED!
Awaken and revive your Spirit in this place! As I cry out to you, my being almost pulsating in desperation for this community, may each member of this body CRAVE you and see the utter need for us to PLUNGE into the uncertainty of all you have called and are calling us to! This is it! You are faithful, and YOU WILL DO IT! This is the year, and I have no doubt that you are working up something huge...
