We’ve been seeing that in a lot of instances, people are seriously just longing for more connection with each other. Real, authentic, loving friendships – it’s kind of hard to find sometimes.

I have a new friend this year, who’s impacted me greatly. Ryan just came to know God’s forgiveness for the first time this past Christmas. Ever since, he’s been so effected… maybe infected with God’s everlasting love, it’s amazing. it’s refreshed me in the purity of the good news – that Christ is here to seek and save the lost. that’s good news. great news.
