BLESS Podcast Gary Kendall

"I love you and I don't want to see my brother die" were the words of Zach's sister that forever changed his life.  It may not have been the most "religious" words but it was filled with the love of God that touched his heart and helped him to start his journey to recovery.  Listen to Zach's story on this week's BLESS podcast and be encouraged that God uses each of us in our simple obedience to bring change to those around us.  To find out more about Zach and his ministry, check out his social and contact info:

Note previous release had technical error. This version fixes that. Hebrews 11:10 "For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God." -- that is the desire God put in Lauren's heart for Kansas City.  No matter what season of life you are in, God delights in it and gives us opportunities to be a light where we are.  Listen to Lauren Fraser's story of how God used a home school mother who is now a founder of a private Christian school and director of the City Beautiful project. 

"Glory is behind every door of fear, discomfort and challenge, and I will always choose to walk through that door to get the blessing that God has behind it!".  This is quite the mindset of Brett Power, who is with World Vision Kansas City.  Join us this week to hear his story of living on missions working locally and globally.  To contact him: bpower@worldvision.org and check out teamworldvision.org for events in Kansas City.
