  PLANTING SEEDS OF HOPE

  Andy had been my friend for almost my entire life. He dated my sister for years and was like a brother to me. He’s the one who got me into cars. I learned how to drive in his Chevy Blazer when I was just twelve. I went on dates with my future wife in that car. It was more than just a vehicle—it was a part of our story. After Andy died by suicide, I found myself needing something to hold on to. Something tangible. So, I bought a Blazer just like his. It was my way of staying connected to… Read More

  THE BREAKTHROUGH

  As a teenager, I was suicidal, drowning in PTSD from relentless bullying. Then, one day, a Hawk Nelson song found me exactly where I was. It gave me something to hold onto. The Lord used a song to literally save my life, and now I get to create music to do the same for others. When Jason Dunn, Hawk Nelson’s lead singer, agreed to sing on my song, “This One’s For You,” it was such a full-circle moment. That song, like many others I’ve written, is for anyone who's been in that dark place. My heart is to be a voice for… Read More

  SUE’S KIDS

  For 25 years, my mom was a school cook in an elementary school, where all the children called her by her first name, “Sue.” She loved them, and they loved her in return for her hugs, friendly teasing and good food. Her school kitchen was known for the special treats she whipped up, especially her famous homemade peanut butter bars that are still talked about today. She would see to it that all the students received plenty of food on their plates, with extras and seconds given to the ones who looked hungrier. Years later, when she was drawing close to death… Read More

  KETURAH’S HAVEN

  My story started in Jamaica when I was 17. I left home because I disliked my parents’ strict rules. When I left to live with my brother, I found myself in a situation that was not conducive to a young girl. After four weeks, he tried to return me to my parents. Halfway there, I decided I was old enough and responsible enough to find a job without having a place to live. A man near my father’s age offered me a big job. I thought he would protect me, but he took me into his home, and I lost my innocence. He… Read More

  WHAT ABOUT US

  On February 25, 2021, my life changed forever. My oldest son was gunned down and killed. I remember going to the scene and seeing my son with his head lying back in the car. The first thing that came to my mind was, please let him be okay, but he wasn’t. He died at approximately 5:17 pm. I asked, “Where is my grandson?” At the time, he was only two years old and had been in the car with my son. The officer said, "He’s okay, but we don’t want him to see you like this.” Those images are still in my head to… Read More

  Labor Unique Ministries Verbalizing the Gospel

  THE REFUGE COFFEE HOUSE

  In the most unlikely time, 2020 during a global pandemic, God called us to open a coffee shop in Quincy, Michigan. Such irony for two faithful Maxwell-House-only coffee drinkers whose BFF is Betty Crocker. God showed us it would not just be a coffee shop, but a ministry He was calling us to pioneer. Our quaint town is a very rural community—not the most likely place for a business to flourish—but God! We believe obedience brings blessings, and have seen that truth repeated throughout our coffee journey. We purchased our building in August of 2020 and opened the next spring. We could… Read More
