The Boy in the Folding Chair
I sat in a creaking metal chair, wishing I could be like my friends—free of faith, free of guilt, free of my parents’ church. But the strange thing about running from truth is that it keeps pace with you. Even as I tried to escape, the whisper followed me:…

🌙 The Man in the Night 🌙
He came in the night—not seeking answers to argue, but a truth he could feel. Centuries later, his quiet search still mirrors our own: the longing to know God, not just know about Him. This reflection invites you to step into the same stillness, where faith…

A Submarine Through the Dark Waters of Time
As a boy sitting by the fishing pond, I felt like time grew on trees. Now, as responsibilities pile up like storm clouds, I steer my days like a submarine through deep waters — careful, tense, never enough room to breathe. And when the pressure rises, wasting…

WHEN GRATITUDE FINDS ITS TRUE HOME
When the fields finally rest, gratitude becomes clearer. From Missouri farm tables to Serbian homes, one truth rises above culture and tradition: thanksgiving belongs to God alone—not to saints, symbols, or stories. This is a call to lay every other custom…

Desiring the shadows
I never thought I’d miss my construction days, but some days I do.There was a certain peace in those evenings when the sun dipped low, tools clattered into the back of the truck, and I knew the day was finished. Work stayed at work. Life was simple. Predictable.…

sometime i get a few minutes to practice with some software and i need my friends to help me test the system. most of those videos just get thrown away but i thought you might enjoy this test video. I was testing microphones and auto scene switching program and a audio recording system. enjoy!

Media is too big

This is a little thing I recorded with the new audio system. It works pretty well there’s a little bit of echo. It’s because I was sitting too far away from the microphone and we was in a very small room so you’ll hear that Milo sounds the best because he was sitting correctly whereas I and Nikolai were not always in the best Positions as far as being 6 to 8 inches away from the microphone. Also, being so close together will cause a little bit of echo so I think it will be a great system, especially when using the auto switch feature between cameras was very quick and very easy.

End-of-year note 📌
As we’ve been working this year to translate and prepare materials in Serbian, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish, we received an end-of-year notification from Canva showing that our account was in the top 5% of Canva users who use translation tools.
This doesn’t say anything about talent—only that there has been steady, consistent work behind the scenes: creating, editing, and translating materials so content can be shared clearly across languages.
Thank you for the ability to help Christ shine across seas and languages.
We’re grateful for the tools, opportunities, and strength God has given us to serve beyond borders. Please continue to pray that everything produced would be used wisely and reach the people it’s meant for. 🙏

📖 New Blog Post: The Cry of the Blood
What happens when the world no longer shakes us?
Written over a century ago, Amy Carmichael’s The Cry of the Blood offers a haunting vision of blind humanity walking toward destruction—and the quiet tragedy of those who turn away, unmoved. In an age of constant noise, violence, and distraction, her words feel painfully current.
This post is not easy reading.
But it is necessary.
It is a call to awaken holy sensitivity, to remember the weight of souls, and to ask God to soften what has grown numb within us.
