Returning Home Our first night back in Zambia after an unexpectedly extended furlough we were blissfully happy to be sleeping in our own beds. Unfortunately, extended absences always have their prices. We returned to a broken refrigerator, an inch of dust, and…. the starving local flora.

Giving Spotlight: How to Give Without an Income

Why Do We Suffer?
