Heading back overseas!!


I just recently sent out a email newsletter but wanted to post on my blog as well that I am in need of prayer and financial support for this summer still. I will be leaving the country on May 8 and arriving in A-land May 10 (yes...it takes awhile to get there! But it could be worse...I could have to travel by ship and overland like in the old days!)I will be there through mid-July.

This summer is a very important one for me as I'm in a season of prayer and preparation for my long-term return in spring of next year. It would mean a lot to me if you could partner with me in prayer as I seek the Lord for guidance, timing, and wisdom in the steps that he has laid out for me. Our team also is moving forward in some new areas as well as strengthening what we are currently involved in. (Do you know we now have 1500 students registered with our resource center. That means 1500 individuals have passed through our doors to partake in learning with us! Praise God!)

For those of you wanting to give, the address you can send donations to is:
Donor Services
P.O. Box 60579
Colorado Springs, CO 80960

Checks can be written out to "YWAM" and write the number #371 on the memo line which designates it to my account.

Also, if you are interested in receiving email updates from me but you are not on my mailing list (if you ARE on the list...you would have gotten an email from me today!) please email me or post a comment on my blog letting me know.

I normally like to keep this blog for personal reflections but I can't stress enough how important your partnership is, both for financial provision but prayer, prayer, and more prayer...that is my deepest need right now. Let's seek God together to see great things happen in the nations this summer!

The latest adventures

My weekends have been quite full the last two weeks. Here's some pictures of the fun times:

April 6: Some friends that worked in the area of northern Af. with me were passing through town and we went to a Cubs game together at Wrigley Field. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures with me and my friends taken on my camera. But really, they were there.





April 12:
This weekend I was in the Los Angeles area for a wedding of two dear friends of mine, Dave and Mia McCoy. We all worked in Af-land together with the same organization but in different parts of the country. It was so exciting to share in their special day together...and 80 degrees on the sunny beach wasn't so bad either!



There were 14 of us who have been in Af-land at some point in time. We didn't all know each other but it was great to hang out and share our common bond.


Dave drove off with Mia sitting on the back of the bike, Afghan style.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. McCoy!! It was a great joy to share in your day!
