Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking. (Ezekiel 1: 28 NIV)
God’s question is: “Are you reading the signs of your time as signs asking you to repent and be converted?” What really counts is our willingness to let the immense sufferings of our brothers and sisters free us from all arrogance and from all judgments and condemnations and give us a heart as gentle and humble as the heart of Jesus.

“I was genuinely surprised at the joy of making and strengthening connections with the lovely people of Iksan and Seoul. God’s love was most definitely present throughout this trip.” - Megan 2024
Most of us consider waiting as something very passive, a hopeless state determined by events totally out of our hands. The bus is late?
