Front Lines of Ministry

By Jeff Simmons

A few weeks ago I had the honor of traveling with a group of U.S. missionaries to Beirut, Lebanon to help train pastors from from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq. This was my first time to this special place in the world and honestly, I was a little uneasy about the trip. 

Everyone Has a Story

Meeting pastors and leaders from these Middle Eastern countries was deeply rich and meaningful. These are the pastors and leaders on the front...

Rediscovering the True Spirit of Christmas

By Jeff Goins (Author, blogger, idea-guy and friend of Rolling Hills)

For years, I never understood Christmas. Admittedly, I was a bit of a Scrooge. It just seemed like the whole thing was a farce.

Every made-for-TV movie I watched between Thanksgiving and New Year’s preached the same gospel: “It’s not about presents.” But then, every Christmas morning, I was inundated with presents. It didn’t...

Just Love - Jason Cruise

Jason is a dad, a sportsman and a person who fully embraces the idea of missional living. Following his recent mission trip to Moldova with our group from Rolling Hills, Jason used his sphere of influence to help support our efforts to put an end to human trafficking in this country. His story is an inspiration to all of us as he demonstrates how simply we could all Just Love within our own circles.

Moldova Report: Final Hours at Internat II

Today was our last day at Internat II.  It was very emotional to say goodbye to our Moldavian friends! I know there was a bittersweet ache in the hearts of the children and team members as we hugged, cried, prayed together, then loaded into the van.

It has been very beautiful and inspiring to be a part of what God is doing in the country of Moldova! Relationships are being made, needs are being met (spiritual and physical), and leaders are being brought...

Moldova Report: Oh Happy Day!

It is the sixth day!  The kids at Internat 2  bring us energy more and more everyday.  Their smiles are contagious!  One smile that I have attached to belongs to a boy named Timotei.  My heart melts when he sits in my lap and wraps my arms around himself tightly.  There is NOTHING more meaningful than the touch of a loving child holding you close.  Our new camp anthem is, "Oh Happy Day!"  I feel like today was certainly a happy day for everyone....

Moldova Mission Report: Camps & Concerts at Internat 2

It's the fifth day now here in Moldova! We are having an amazing time with the kids at Internat 2 (orphanage)! Yesterday we got up at six and went out to Internat until lunch time, then we were at Jesus Savior Camp until 10 o'clock. We then ate a great dinner made by Aurika around 10:30! We are thanking the Lord for giving us the energy to get up early the next morning to head out for Internat again! 

While with the kids I know everyone is able to see that the Lord is...

Worshiping in Romanian - A Note From Moldova

There is something very special about worshipping our God halfway around the world where the language of our mouths differs greatly but the language of our hearts are in unison with our brothers and sisters in Christ. The day started with a visit to Jesus Savior Baptist Church here in Chisinau. Considered to be the largest Romanian speaking Baptist Church in Moldova, the time was filled with encouraging teaching and a baptism service of nearly 40 individuals, not to mention the songs,...
