As we grow up, we are trained to live in the tangible reality that surrounds us; thus letting go of our imaginations. However, being created in the image of The Creator, we are given an incredible ability: to create creatively. Our imagination facilitates the creation of beauty and brings color to life. Without it, we are forced to merely exist rather than truly live. Life is a gift. Live well. Partake in beauty. Let the colors of your life be vibr...

Chiv In will be presenting photos and stories from the Fall 2009 trip to Cambodia at the Breckenfelds' house on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 7:00 pm. Please email me (abbeyrenee[at]gmail[dot]com) if you would like to attend and I will send more information to you.
By all accounts it was an incredible trip, and since our church has adopted the Khmer people, it would be great for us to turn out in support and to see what is happening over there so that we can all be a part.

Some of you may have heard of the Perspectives class. A couple of members of Missions Commission are taking it now and highly recommend it to anyone interested in Missions or just in broadening their perspectives, especially as concerns justice and religion.

About 2 months ago I went on an amazing trip to Bogota, Colombia with a group from our church. We got to work with a wonderful group of missionaries from YWAM (Youth with a Mission) who live and work in the Bogota area. It was also really neat to actually work in the building that our church helped pay for through the Bigfoot Comedy night fundraiser last year. The building is used as a play center where the street kids in the YWAM program can come to have fun. We got to add some great play areas in that building, like a rope bridge, a texture wall, hammocks to climb on, a basketball court, and we fixed the rock climbing wall. Also, we got to go out and visit some of the schools and drop-in centers that YWAM helps run for the street kids. ...
