Today we finished X-Track, our training to serve cross culturally. It’s been an amazing five weeks of learning and interacting with others. Last night all of us that have finished the program were commissioned. It was a beautiful service that included those of us being sent out being prayed over by the others. We grouped [...]
Today our Global HR department informed us that we are now officially IRs. (International Representatives) This means we have met the organizational requirements to serve outside the US full time. We still have a lot to do before we move, but this is a very exciting milestone in the overall process. Now we need to [...]
While it certainly isn’t snowing here, I keep thinking how nice it would be to have a quiet pause but it’s not to be right now. We have promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep. And a lot of miles it will be too. In just under 3 weeks we will be [...]
I’ve been a slacker on keeping this site up to date. Once the kids got back into school things got a lot busier. September slipped right on by and October is going too fast. God has been good and everyone is doing well. A lot of my time has been spent thinking about mobile phones, [...]
In June, Ingrid and I had the privilege of working as volunteers at the Family Life Weekend to Remember conference in Orlando. It was a really great time.

It is the “Prayer for Prodigals” community. Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, membership is by invitation [...]
I think it ended up being about 740 in attendance at the marriage conference. It was a great week-end and an extremely good investment of our time and effort. I’ll post more details when we get them from the folks at Family Life that ran the conference.
Ingrid and I are staffing a Weekend to Remember conference this week-end. We are working in the resource center – and started this morning by unpacking all the books, cds, etc. and setting them up. Then we got trained to use the point of sale software. Looks like a VB app and the guy setting [...]
A fun video about some of the resources available from Family Life. They do this all over the world and we are proud to be a part of it. Ingrid and I will be helping to staff a “Weekend to Remember” conference here in Orlando next month.
Here in Florida, the change in seasons isn’t quite as dramatic as many other parts of the world. Having grown up in Arizona, I’m used to that. Although there is even less variation here than there was there, which is hard to believe. But I do love the fall, regardless. It has been cooler here [...]
