James Moore:
"The spirit of the place astounds. The joy of it all. The reception bestowed upon us is surely of Your making and the generosity of those who have received us. We are blessed to be here. To use our hearts and hands to honor, to serve, to sow the seed. All men walk in the shadows of uncertainty. And it was with anxious concern that we set forth on our journey. We have been taught that it is without faith that we stumble, and fall, and cannot get up. And it is without community that we fear the darkness. But here; in this remote, frackle, on Your bountiful earth, we have found solace. We have found a comfort amongst strangers. And a beacon of light from a community so strong that no shadow shall do us harm, no matter how wide it's cast. Nor shall it prevent us from living the life You have created for us to serve in Your name and enjoy Your abundant and wondrous gifts. We thank Thee, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the opportunity before us."
