Answered Prayers

The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing.  Finishing up my India and China trip this week and looking back at the miracle of the Lord’s hands, it’s amazing.  First story, I was in Bangalore visiting my team and all the prayers of many friends in GRC and friends in India was that His name would be honored and that …

Ministry Overview: Youth

Youth Ministry here at Grace Redeemer Church goes by the name “New Life,” and it is the best term to describe the season of life that youth ministry represents. In 2009, Barna Group found that 2/3 of all believers came to faith before 18, with most conversions occurring in middle and high school years. It is no wonder, then, why …

Meditate & Pray

Meditate God’s word (inhale). “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.

Developmental Milestones of Faith

Since we adopted our son, I look forward to any and every milestone as they often remind me of God’s kindness to our family.  Tears of gratitude marked events like the first birthday we were able to celebrate together, his baptism witnessed by our church who prayed for him long before they knew him, the first time he trusted me …

Desiring Their Greatest Joy

Hello GRC! Cedar and I have been parents for over 24 years, counting from the moment we saw those lines on the home-test.  The following months and years followed a similar pattern to most families:  figuring out “what to expect when you’re expecting”;  getting ready for sleepless nights;  delighting in holding a baby (OUR baby!) and then doing our best, …

For The Sake of The Call

More money, better opportunity. That is what people at my workplace assumed when I told them that I submitted my resignation. And it would make sense.

Community and the Church Retreat

God created us to be in Christ-centered community.  From the very beginning, God noted that it was not good for a man to be alone, and he created a suitable helper for him (Gen 2:18).  He then gave a mandate for mankind to continue to grow in number and assist Him with ruling over it. God even walked with Adam …

Strength Made Perfect in Weakness

The last year or so has been quite challenging for me. I keep saying, “I think I’m full up, but, apparently, God disagrees because He keeps sending more my way.” I had my second son, Jeremy, in March 2022. Truly a blessing. Additionally, we decided to move to Bergen County. Given the crazy real estate market, it made sense to …
