Prince Edward Island

 
We have had a wonderful time in PEI the past week. Esther and I have been able to speak in a church and meet with some individuals and share our ministry. I was also able to hook up with a group of guys and go mountain biking. We have also had a good time visiting with Esther's grandmother, aunt and uncle.
Thanks for praying for us, the Lord has been teacking us many things and we look forward to seeing how He will work in the coming weeks. Posted by Picasa

Maine Attraction

I wrote this a few nights ago. We are now in PEI Canada having a great time. I'll be sure to post again soon.

It has been a while since my last post. Right now Esther and I are in a library in Lisbon Falls, ME. We have had a good trip so far, but it has rained most the time while driving. The first three days of travel (Monday to Wednesday) were tough. We did about 500 miles per day and when we got to the places we were staying we were pretty tired. We have been driving through some really beautiful country. Monday night we stopped in Wheaton, IL, Tuesday night we were in Sherman, NY (good luck finding that on a map), and Wednesday night we were in Bedford, NH. I have really enjoyed meeting and staying with a lot of people
Today we are taking it a bit easier, Esther’s mom is big into tracing her family’s genealogy and we are catching up on some work while she’s tracing some of her ancestors here in Maine.
The Lord has continued to be faithful (isn’t He always) in our support raising. We have been encouraged, surprised, and excited about the team that the Lord is putting together as we look forward to heading to Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks goes out to those who are praying for us, supporting us, and encouraging us. Please continue to pray that we would be effective communicators of God’s work in our lives.

Calendar of Events


I think in a past post I said that I would give you a little more detail on our calendar as far as traveling goes. Well, I'm here to do that now. We have been in Worthington, MN for about 4 weeks now and are getting ready to head into week 5. Esther's parents are going to visit us this next week and we are looking forward to that.
After their week here Esther and I are heading out on tour again. The other day I was thinking that I felt a bit like a musician only I don't have a big fancy bus, roadies to carry my stuff, and a bunch of other people do to make road tours works. That's ok though, we really enjoy getting out and meeting folks and letting them know what God is doing in our lives. Anyway, we'll be heading up to the north east New England area and then across the boarder to Canada. Most of our time there will be in Nova Scotia, but we'll also stop by Prince Edward Island to see Esther's' grandma and an aunt and uncle. That trip will take us up to September 30. For there we'll head back south down to Ohio and spend a week there with a Church at a missions type conference. From there we head straight south down to North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The grand total for weeks away from "home" is....11.
Please pray for us that we would have safety driving many miles, the car would run smoothly, and that we would be able to effectively communicate what God is doing in our lives.
I will do my best to publish from the road, but it might be hit and miss. I think one of the highlights I'm looking forward to (other than meeting folks and seeing the east side of the country) is the CAT ferry. We might be using this on our way back to the south instead of driving back around through Maine. We look forward to this time and sharing what God is doing.

Profile Photo


I'm going to try and get a photo on my profile. I was searching the other day through some old pictures and came across this one and thought my readers would appreciate it. Let's see if it'll work.
