The Grand Expedition
Join us as we embark on a prayer expedition that has been designed to strengthen our prayer lives, so we can successfully battle for the hearts, minds and souls of our children and grandchildren. During this expedition, we will enjoy rich narratives at selected destination points in Luke’s gospel. We will sift through stories from Jesus’ ministry, all the while being led along dirt roads, under olive groves, through the Temple gates and into our own hearts. We will uncover biblical truths for unleashing the power of prayer and garner applicable tools for stepping-up our prayer lives. We will encounter present-day grandparents whose faith stories inspire even the most cynical among us to believe miracles still happen.

Reflections from a Military Grandmother
Homecoming: My grandson and I stood on the sidewalk, watching and waving, as the horse-drawn carriage pulled away from the curb and into the line of traffic. Our hands were sticky from the ice cream cone we shared moments earlier. We continued waving while the...
