Welcome to Luke’s Blog
I live in Northwest Indiana, Highland to be exact, and I started to blog because I like to write and want to be helpful to others.A few years ago, my family and some friends tried starting a church as a network of missional communities in NW Indiana. Several of the families moved and we decided to seek God for our next season. Now we are working with Mercy Hill Church and several other churches to mobilize local families to love and bless International Students at our local university.
Please note that I have I have taken a break from blogging lately.
I have blogged about faith - following Jesus in today's world. You can join the discussion by leaving comments.

Our Connections and Networks
We are local missionaries (I prefer "disciple-makers") with Mercy Hill Church, in ministry partnership with Reliant Mission (formerly Great Commission Ministries.)
And of course we are a part of the Church worldwide, all of Jesus' followers, his Bride. But they don't have a website for that ;)-

Excellent Grad Program!
I highly recommend the MAGL (Master of Arts of Global Leadership) at Fuller Seminary. It was an amazing experience for me- highly relational, interactive, practical and missional.
Bio I’m learning from – Wilberforce
I recently finished Amazing Grace, the story of William Wilberforce and his work to abolish the slave trade. I was encouraged by his perseverance. I was struck by how he wasn't at all alone, He was part of a "missional community" with a common mission to end the slave trade.
Loving all things missional
