I Feel as if God Has Given Me a New Name
We don’t need to conform to any dominant culture but be transformed into God’s image. I believe God is against cultural homogeneity and ethnocentrism. No culture or ethnicity is better than another. We are equally broken and equally beautiful.
A Year-end Request

It’s Always Winter, But Never Christmas
Even in the dead of winter, amidst all the ice and snow, hope grows. Hope grows because we know Emmanuel has come to be with us. The lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world has come.

Community Soup in Mennonite-Anabaptist Churches in Latin America, an Opportunity in Venezuela in Crisis
In spite of this global panorama, anabaptists churches around the world continue finding incentives to face the crisis in the Bible, remembering two fundamental values we understand from scripture and from our callings as the church: persisting in the community and helping one another.
Lighting Candles
As we walk through this time of Advent, I am particularly drawn to the idea of Advent as a journey of preparation. The turmoil of this year, with the coinciding stress and desire for the usual ways we celebrate, can distract from the WHO and WHY we celebrate.
A Mosaic Christmas Playlist

How a Problem’s Solution Became a Bike Shop
Scott Roth often says, “Most people have learned to ride a bike. Most people smile as they ride and cry when they fall. The good news is that we get to be Jesus to most people since most people have a bike.” Jesus used fish and healing to bless others. Bike & Sol blesses and heals through bicycles.
