Our Missionaries at Casa Adalia
A story of what God is doing from our missionaries at Casa Adalia in Ecuador. Adalia in Hebrew means God is my refuge. Indeed He is. Casa Adalia seeks to be and has been a wondrous, not perfect, but definitely beautiful refuge to the young women and their children who have stepped through its […]
Our Missionaries in Costa Rica
God called me to minister to the people of Costa Rica 13 years ago. Since then he has blessed me with my husband Camilo and two great sons: Joshua who is nine and Elias who is three. Our main focus is to reach the next generation, because they are our future. Many churches in Costa […]
Impactful Influence
I recently attended a luncheon to honor this year’s most impactful leaders among local area nonprofits. Perhaps you’ve heard of Impact COMO? 2018 was their inaugural year. Their purpose is to celebrate Columbia’s nonprofits’ high performing volunteers, organizations, and executive directors. When I first arrived at the Stoney Creek Inn, where the luncheon was held, […]
The Recap: Beth Moore
On July 13 and 14, about 100 women from Christian Fellowship joined 5,500 women, from a multitude of denominations, to hear Beth Moore speak at the Mizzou Arena. The worship was amazing as were her teachings…but, then, it was Beth Moore, who in my humble opinion, sits at the right hand of God. Beth used […]

God in this City: Summer Block Parties
Over the past couple months, God’s calling to connect to others and reach out within my neighborhood has become increasingly clear. It started as an interaction our family had with a young preteen girl in the neighborhood. Through it my family witnessed the compassion and protection that our neighborhood outreach officers strove to offer for […]
Embracing Work as Worship
“Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care.” I Timothy 6:20 For more than two decades, and all my adult working life, God called me to serve his Church in full-time ministry. It wasn’t something I aspired to, or pursued, in fact I pretty much fell into it. But it quickly became all I […]
Thoughts on Thankfulness
I’m Pastor Jean Claude Ntimpa. In these Thanksgiving holidays, I’m happy to get this opportunity to share with you this encouragement. The word “thank” is a small word, but it is very powerful and to be thankful is very important to mankind. Even a dog gives thanks to his boss, watch him shaking his tail! […]
Thou Shalt Love Thyself?
I have long fought against the worldly concept of loving yourself. My opinion on the matter was iron clad and tightly bolted. In my opinion, we all loved ourselves a little too much, and this was the root of so much anger, bitterness, divorce, break-downs in relationships, and even war. The problem was that everyone […]
