As we celebrate the joy of the Easter season, Lisa shares interviews this week with two inspiring individuals who are using their gifts and talents to minister to others.

Sister Marilyn Lacey, RSM is the founder of the nonprofit organization Mercy Beyond Borders and the author of This Flowing Toward Me: A Story of God Arriving in Strangers, a wonderful book based on her years of working with refugee populations around the globe.

Matthew Baute is a Catholic recording artist who travels across the US as a full-time lay "music missionary" sharing God’s message of mercy and love through prayer concerts and diocesan events. He strives to lead a simple, contemplative life in the midst of the busyness of the secular world, giving witness to the reality that God is continually whispering an invitation of love to every heart.

Deacon Tom Fox shares a wonderful Easter season celebration entitled "Pay it Forward".
