Not only our sins are on the cross!

By | May 3, 2011

Do you know those times, or maybe you feel it all the time, when something somebody else said or did is weighing down on us? Maybe it’s something little like something hurtful somebody said to you. Or maybe you’ve experienced something way bigger, like being ignored or abused by a parent.   God showed me something redeeming in this.

Have you ever felt lost, alone, left out, not accepted? Are you hungry for love, for peace, for real true happiness and friendship? Hear this. You are so loved… You are so loved. So loved!

“I thirst for you!”

By | October 20, 2010

Well, hello! First, let me introduce myself. My name is Elske Antonissen. I’m 26 years old and I’m from the Netherlands, sometimes better known as Holland. I came here last week to be a Covecrest missionary in Tiger, Georgia, for a whole year. It’s unbelievable to be here, in this heavenly place, full of love and so close to God.
