It All Started with a Prayer

March 13, 2025

In September 2024 Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and continued to move inland. By the time it reached the mountains of western North Carolina, it had weakened to a tropical storm. It hovered over the region, dropping record-breaking amounts of rain. This caused flooded rivers and devastating mudslides, affecting thousands of people who were […]

Ministry Over the Long Haul

February 28, 2025

I know that there are those who have far exceeded my brief 45 years of full-time ministry. But God has graciously allowed me to serve in three locations…the last being 34 years in Meyersdale, Pa. I’ve learned that longevity in any ministry is not due to the ability of the servant, but the grace and […]

The Role of a Pastor’s Wife

February 20, 2025

Being a pastor’s wife is a unique calling. It is a role of both immense joy and immense weight. Ministry, vocation, and family often blend together as you serve side by side, opening your lives to those God has called you to shepherd. What makes the role of a pastor’s wife unique is that no […]

The Centrality of Relationships in Reaching the Next Generation

January 22, 2025

You don’t need me to quote statistics to know Christian young people are fleeing the church at an alarming rate. But not only the local church…they are walking away from their faith altogether. Just to make sure we’re all on the same page, humor me and read this next part carefully. According to a pre-COVID study, […]

From Anchorage to St. Petersburg

January 16, 2025

At the end of October, a group from Eagle River Grace in Anchorage, Alaska, traveled to Florida to assist with hurricane response. Roger Nelsen, Ryan Mahoney, and Greyson Culbert spent several days serving alongside Charis Disaster Response and On Mission Network in St. Petersburg, Fla. Roger, whose family has been actively involved in various ministry […]

In Zealous Pursuit of Others

January 10, 2025

The natural outflow of knowing Jesus and what He has done is a zealous pursuit of others. They are merely sheep without a shepherd. We were in the same position until Jesus “saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy” (Titus 3:5). The most compassionate and loving act would be […]

In the fall of 2024 Florida was hit by two consecutive tropical storms. Hurricane Helene made landfall as a category 4 storm, and just a few weeks later Hurricane Milton landed as a category 3.
