2008 kick off

It has been a busy time, hence the lack of time to blog. We recently had a great practical day with our youth group. We have been talking to them abo

ut using this vacation time to bless the lives of others, and they suggested a trip to a nearby orphanage. It was a fun time watching them interact with other children and teens and finding that selfless acts of love can bring great joy and satisfaction.  (orphans below are blocking our exit... sad to leave)

Today, Ali and I are in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil, where we spent the last week attending a missionary conference attended by missionaries to Brasil, Chile and Paraguay.  It was an amazing time of sharing dreams, considering new ideas, and fellowship with new and old friends.  (fun night with fellow missionaries in pic) 

This week we will travel back to the state of Sao Paulo and make final preparations for the camp session we will be directing next week. PLEASE join us in prayer as we prepare ourselves and our team of counselors to serve an unknown group of teenagers for 7 days. There will surely be many a stories to share with you after that!! 

we love you and miss you. 

please do not give up on our blog. =)
