God makes the impossible possible. You’ve probably heard or read that, but when you see it in action–when your friend is healed, that hopeless business deal works out, or when someone’s life changes because of a new relationship with God–you never forget it. Ben Ankarlo is here today, sharing how he’s seen the impossible become possible. “I was in Lesotho, a small African country, on a mission trip several years ago. During the last hour of the trip, I experienced…
“I just had a lot of questions that needed to be answered in a big way. I’m more of a logical person, so I question everything.

Shawn Peterson was a professed agnostic (an atheist believes there is no God, while an agnostic doesn’t think we can know) and vocal about his negative opinions toward Christianity. In 2017 he found himself needing a miracle. Medical problems and other personal challenges left him feeling hopeless and he even contemplated taking his own life. But it was a simple invitation to come to church from his sister that changed the course of his life forever. “I was dealing with terrible exhaustion and…
We all have influence, but how we choose to use it makes all the difference. Recently, a few of the Timber Creek High School varsity football players chose to use their influence to positively affect their school…and it’s had some incredible results. Dylan, Ethan, and Adrian first attended Elevate, Milestone’s student ministry, this January after being invited by an Elevate leader.
