Running down a dream...

I've always been one to miss the old days. Sometimes to my detriment I glorify the old days and think of them unrealistically. Nevertheless, I miss working in a missions community like we did for all those years with TIME Ministries. Perhaps the most formative experiences of my life took place working in Hermosillo, Monterrey, and Santo Domingo. In each place, I was working with at least one immediate family member. I miss the team effort.

In two days I have the chance to take my sister and her husband, and 3 other dear, lifelong friends on a tour of the Balkans with the hope of introducing them to 3 different potential ministry locations. In my mind, the best case scenario would be that they come home moved and ready to move back and work as a team with us when we return to the field. Is that what the Lord has planned? Could be. He could also be orchestrating something better. We'll find out. Can you pray for the Holy Spirit to lead and guide each one of us in a powerful way on this trip?

This Good Day

I've received some great gifts in my 29 years, but few have been as rich and wonderful as God bringing us to Wheaton Grad School. This has been a time marked by rest, reflection, networking, and learning. God has remained ever faithful in His providence along the way. He has fed us, provided housing, cars, health insurance, Christian doctors, life-long friends, tuition (Thanks Billy Graham!), and a son that has surpassed our wildest dreams. That is the short list. This experience will forever have a special place reserved in my heart. Here are some pictures:
