Insight from Elizabeth

Update
The six stranded travelers should be arriving soon back at the Chicago airport for their final flight into Knoxville. That was a long layover! As one of them told me this morning…”We’ll get there when God wants us to get there. He probably wanted us to have this time to debrief before we arrive home.”

Stuck in Chicago
Six members of our team returning home from SE Asia are stuck in Chicago. So close…but can’t get to Knoxville. Please lift them up in prayers for something to open up to allow them to get home. It’s been a long trip and they must be exhausted! Let’s pray them home.

Invitation
I find myself in amazement of what happens when we dare to respond to God invitation to touch, see and feel the things He calls us to. I would never have believed that the place I feel the most alive, most at peace would be across the world embracing the children and the people of [...]

Saying “Good-bye”
Every year a part of camp requires courage, compassion and strength….that is saying “good-bye” to each other. All year long the HOL children dream about getting to come to camp again. Camp is the one time of year that the HOL children from different areas get to see each other; that parents can share lives, [...]
