January 25th, 201001:49 PM ETBy Ann DunaganAs our children grow, there will be repeated times of releasing each one to God: letting go of a little hand as a baby takes that first wobbly step . . . letting go of total educational control as a child steps onto that school bus or enrolls in that first college course. Or what about that moment when we let go of the car keys and an eager teenage... -
As families, we're blessed to be a BLESSING!
January 22nd, 201002:12 PM ETBy Ann DunaganThink for a moment about how different your life would be if you were born in a land isolated from God and filled with extreme poverty, sickness, and disease.

A Mission-Minded Christmas
December 11th, 200901:47 PM ETBy Ann DunaganIt was Christmas, and the Liberian Christians had been asked this year instead of receiving gifts, to help carry the Gospel to others . . . This Christmas, let's do something different. Let's "get" what Christmas is really all about . . . and then "give it" all to God. God gave His Only Son for us; this Christmas, let's make Him LORD over e... -
