Defying time, impossibly long passport and customs lines, and rechecking luggage, the Lord miraculously got me through the craziness of O'Hare International Airport. I only had an hour and half from when I got off my plane from Istanbul to get to my next flight. Thank you Lord! Spending any more time in the airport was not exactly appealing to me at the time. :) With a few minutes even to get

What a crazy week this has been! I have so much to be thankful to the Lord for in all His provisions and blessings even in the hard times. Bri and I have been blissfully (sometimes blissfully uncomfortable) traveling around the Northern Aegean Coast of Turkey, reveling in the sunshine and salt water and ancient history. Ive seen quite a few museums, an incredible amount of really old rocks, some

Hello everyone! Bri and I made it back safe and sound to Istanbul, and are off on another adventure! Thank you for your prayers as this trip was incredible and the Lord really moved. I will write more when I can but internet access is limited and very brief. We are praising the Lord for what He has done but also exhausted emotionally and physically. If you can, please pray that the Lord will

We leave for the next city tomorrow morning. The team met today to pray for the people and the place and the work, asking the Lord to specifically move in the work we are doing there. I would appreciate your prayers in this as we go.Basically we are doing an outreach that will involve various elements, physical and relational. We will be ministering mostly to the women and are praying for the

...is what I have been for the last 48 hours! Bri arrived safely yetserday (thank you for praying!) although she lost her bag (prayers are appreciated!) and we have been going nonstop since she got here. It has been an incredible experience to see the "leftovers" of ancient people that lived here long before we did. Remnants of Byzantium, Constantinople, and the Ottoman Empire are everywhere,

...that is what the pastor(s) spoke on today in church. And that is what I thought of as I looked upon the expanse of the city and sea and lights off the balcony tonight. The message and fellowship were wonderful today as I was so blessed to be in the presence of OUR family worshipping OUR Lord and Savior. In two different langues, I might add! :)After a busy, tiring week a lovely, relaxing

Hey hey everyone! I am now both geographically (on a minor scale) and personally relocated! I am again able to use the internet so I wanted to give a brief update. I am doing extremely well and so very blessed by the people I am staying with. I was with one lady for the first week and have now moved to another part of the city with another couple just in from outside of the country. Funny

I am the same yesterday, today, and forever...the alpha & omega...God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob...I am with you wherever you go.These words came to my mind as I was chatting with one of the women I am working with here. I was listening to her tell me of her life, her God-ordained and recent marriage to a wonderful man, and to her dreams of the future. All difference of language, culture, and

"Now the whole offer which Christianity makes is this: that we can, if we let God have His way, come to share in the life of Christ. If we do, we shall then be sharing a life which was begotten, not made, which always existed and always will exist. Christ is the Son of God. If we share in this kind of life we also shall be sons of God. We shall love the Father as He does and the Holy Ghost will
