We have been planning a missions trip to Barcelona for this coming April, and have been really encouraged by the amount of interest shown by individuals and churches. Unfortunately we will have to postpone the trip until April 2013.  Melissa is expecting our second child right around that time. Also we really feel like it [...]

I think sometimes I take it for granted that everyone knows what deputation is like because I grew up around it. Sometimes I am shocked when people ask me things like, “What do you do with all your time?”, and “So is deputation essentially like a 2 year vacation?” First off, let me say that [...]

That is just exciting, to see a church that is still thriving and growing after all these years, and [...]
