Living in Fullness: Nurturing the Next Generation
Life unfolds in seasons, each with its own stage and story. As children, we are curious and energetic, discovering trust and innocence.

Early adulthood is marked by the pursuit of careers, relationships, and, for many, the beginnings of a…

“And we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

Read MoreTended in the Testing
“My children are always singing…” Family and friends often describe me as deeply curious—endlessly fascinated by the human heart, our behaviors, and, most of all, our incredible capacity to love.

There’s a point in every climb when the ground shifts beneath you and gravity demands everything you have left. Climbers call it the crux—the hardest move on the mountain. It’s the place that asks not only for strength but for heart, endurance, and faith that the next hold is worth reaching for. At Hands &…
Read MoreBelief Is the Hardest Work We Do
There’s a moment in every climb when the air thins, when vision narrows, and when belief is all that remains between you and the summit. Not the kind of belief that floats lightly on optimism, but the kind that clings—with white-knuckled resolve—to the rope of faith. At Hands & Feet Project, belief is not abstract. It’s…
Read MoreThe Work of Our Hands, The Care of Our Hearts
In Haiti, spiritual care doesn’t happen in a classroom. It happens in the heat of a soccer field, in the laughter echoing through the courtyard, in the tears that come when a child receives their very first award for honesty. It happens when we pause long enough to see each other—to really see—the way Christ…

Every climber knows the word press. To press is to lean your whole weight into resistance, to take the next step when the air thins, when the rock pushes back, when gravity insists you stay low.
