Esteem Them Very Highly in Love
Partnership is a word that would very well sum up our (almost) 5 years in Budapest. Soon after we landed in December of 2011, we began to attend a church called Agóra that had been planted the year before. The two pastors who planted it, Trey Shaw (IMB) and Hamar Dávid, asked me (Ben) to join…
Exchanging Gifts and Practicing Hospitality: a Recipe for Partnership
There are two key moments in my life that have transformed the way I understand partnership in global missions.

Camping ministry has been effectively mobilizing Latins to missionary service…
Helping to Tell Stories that Really Matter
Sometimes, if you stop long enough, you look around and realize that nothing is new under the sun and that really, my generation is just telling the same story our grandparents have been telling us ever since we can remember.

God Raising Up Latino Hands for His Glory
Planting Broadly for a More Plentiful Harvest: God Raising Up Latino Hands for His Glory “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to…
