Cover photo: Peirce and Christina Baehr hope to welcome guests to
their Pilgrim Hill hostel in Tasmania by the end of 2014. Currently
raising funds, they also host regular workdays for volunteers. “Every
month or so,” he says, “someone writes us wanting to come volunteer
at Pilgrim Hill. Something in the vision clicks with people, which is a

devotional from Philippians 2 on serving Christ. Read the full story on
pages 30-32. Photo by Jordan de Hoog.
