Living Lent: The story of two Dirty Vagabond missionaries.

What would you say if God told you to move with your wife and young family to the inner city of Wichita, Kansas, and serve the poor? Most people would probably say, “No way!” Many have the mentality that to live a missionary life is for the single person or someone who has chosen a religious vocation. However, when God spoke to Andy and Meg Churray, they said yes. 

The Dark Side of Hope

Every year about this time, as winter begins to fade and spring seems more like a reality, I get so excited to dive into whatever spring cleaning projects I have.

It’s like a new beginning which is also how I look at the season of Lent.
