Singles Forum
The single life brings blessings and burdens—the blessing of greater service, the hurt and fears of loneliness, the freedom yet burden of independence, the excitement of what God may bring next. As singles, especially if family lives far away, it's vital to share our journey and burdens as a family in Christ. Singles have a unique but no lesser opportunity to glorify God and grow in Christ-likeness. This forum is a place to share your journey and gain encouragement from fellow travelers!
