Mike grabbed every opportunity to share his miraculous journey in Christ with others. When I think of Mike these words come to my heart – passion, joy and servanthood. He was always ready to do anything that was needed to be done at NightShift – pick-ups, painting, scrubbing toilets, folding, ironing, serving coffee, loving others.…

Ordinary people doing Extra-ordinary things. Lesley left a huge imprint in my heart exactly one year ago. She had bounced through the door of Sisters Thrift Boutique with bags of clothing to donate for people living on the street. In 2011, I had met Lesley at one of NightShift's volunteer orientations, at which time she…

I find it amazing how many parallels there are between my Walk the Walk training and the challenges we face at NightShift – life in general. Every time I lace up either at the track or at the gym, I am reminded how difficult it is to stay faithful to my commitment – at the…

I was leaving the office one afternoon last week, a bit later than anticipated, but full of a sense of God’s pleasure at some of the conversations and encounters I had enjoyed earlier in the day. Arms full of file folders, I headed to the parking lot where I was greeted by a surprised voice…

Pastor Steen Laursen was my friend. A man I looked up to and respected. I am sad/happy to hear that he has gone home to be with the Lord. Happy to know he’s dancing with Jesus, free of pain and suffering. Sad, because he’ll be missed by us waiting to go home to Glory! Pastor…
