Dear Friends,

Last week I was speaking at a children’s camp for a trio of churches about 30 minutes into the countryside. Lea and I were asked to lead worship down by the seaside later that evening and as we sang together, it occurred to me how great it was to be standing there surrounded by wind and water, singing in harmony and sharing cues with a woman I love, admire and enjoy so much. These first two months have offered boundless evidence of God’s abundant grace and blessing on our young marriage. In this day and age, I cannot take such signs lightly.

Dear Friends

Great news! The elders of the Viimsi Church in Estonia have recently invited Alongside Ministry to send some one to come alongside them and minister to their youth. Alongside has decided to send me. So, early in the morning on Monday, December 14th I will leave the Spokane Airport to begin a month of intensive training in Strasbourg, France and on January 26th, I’ll leave to minister and live alongside our friends in Viimsi, Estonia! Having met and worshipped with them in March, I am excited to work among such earnest believers. Your prayers and financial support have paved the way. For example, as I step on the plane I will have in one hand a $400 ticket to Frankfurt, Germany and in the other an American passport stamped with a two year long-stay visa. Behind the scenes my Alongside account has slowly built up to almost $3,000 in excess of my budget. Each of these had the potential to be stumbling blocks. But your intercession and the grace of our “God of impossibilities” have turned potential problems into tremendous blessings.
