This month’s issue opens with Less Than a Day to Live, a powerful reflection drawn from JD Crowley’s message on the shrewd manager. With vivid biblical imagery and a call to “gospel leveraging,” we’re reminded that life is short, eternity is long, and each remaining “day” is an opportunity for eternal investment.
Inside this issue:
Rick’s Projects 2026 – Uruguay Work Trip — At Camp Emanuel, 29 volunteers completed major projects: bathroom upgrades, emergency electrical repairs, storm recovery, safe‑water preparation, landscaping, and expanded fellowship areas. Several storm‑related needs remain unfunded, and the team presses forward in faith.
Volunteer Testimony – Jeff Hilla (Iowa) — Jeff shares how serving in Uruguay strengthened friendships, encouraged spiritual growth, and provided meaningful opportunities to use practical skills for gospel work. He invites others to join the August 2027 trip.
