Hearing the Call, Answering the Call

Story by Angela Peach

When Nico Chaij (’15) was a high school student at Spring Valley Academy, he was drawn to God, but not necessarily to ministry. To him, ministry was something only truly holy people could do. And yet, his love of learning led him to study the Bible deeply. He also found joy in his roles as junior class pastor and, later, Student Council’s religious vice president (student chaplain). He helped lead a Bible study on the book of Ruth and enjoyed the thrill of helping people find deeper meaning in familiar stories. But a career in ministry? Surely not.

With each passing day, there is one fundamental question that is taking on greater significance. The answer to this question will determine the direction we travel together: What is the church—a building, a worship service?

Paul’s teaching in the New Testament uses the human body as a metaphor for the church, revealing that we are the body of Christ, and Christ is the Head (see 1 Corinthians 12 and Colossians 1). Without Jesus, there is no life, no direction, no purpose. Paul informs us, “He is before all things, and in Him all things consist” (Col. 1:17, NKJV). This means that our connection to Jesus is not optional, but essential.

This World Water Day, a global reckoning with water's hidden inequality, and how ADRA's work in the Democratic Republic of Congo is already writing the next chapter.

Every year on March 22, the world pauses to reckon with a resource most Americans take entirely for granted: clean water. Turn on a tap. Fill a glass. The water is simply there. But for more than two billion people on this planet, water is not a convenience. It is a daily crisis, and the weight of that crisis falls almost entirely on women and girls.
