“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” Matthew 6:19 You won’t find it on Trip Adviser. You won’t see a flashing ad for it when arriving at Denver International Airport. No slick brochure at the visitor […]

Sometimes, when I approach someone about starting a men’s team ministry to their widowed and single parents in their church, I get the following response: “Oh, my church already has a Stephen Ministry.” Stephen Ministry, for those who haven’t heard of it, is an excellent non-denominational ministry that trains lay […]
