The Jahshua Generation

As you gaze out over the Mojave Desert, budding young Joshua trees stand in contrast to the barrenness of the wilderness. They symbolize the treasure to be found in the desert by those who observe the beauty and majesty of the sand, stones, and sky, the brilliance of each sunrise, and the serene hues of its sunsets. Similarly, when we look out into our community, we see spiritual barrenness, but we can also recognize the next generation's budding talents, gifts, and purpose.

The prophet Isaiah declared, “Even the wilderness and desert will be glad in those days. The wasteland will rejoice and blossom with spring crocuses.” (Isaiah 35:1, NLT).
