Goodbyes Are Difficult But You Are Coming With Me

Photos From My Surprise Going Away Party

July 20, 2014

So many people from both Vine and Branches and Youth Group came out to say goodbye.  Several people spoke about what they have seen the Lord doing in my life.  It was a wonderful encouragement.  

The Hegartys graciously opened up their home for this gathering.  We know how to have fun.

The Last Night at the CEFC Youth Group

July 27, 2014

I will miss these crazy kids.  They have been such a blessing in my life.  I know that the Lord will do big things both in and through these kids.

Although it is tough to say goodbye, I looking forward to building a youth group in the Czech Republic were we grow in our knowledge of the Lord as well as have fun being crazy.

Amazing things the Lord has done in just the last few days

• In the last few days the Lord has provided me with some much needed affordable international health care
• I was blessed in my final week of work at CEFC
• I was able to get some of the supplies that I need for the trip 
• The Lord supplied a solution for the needs that I had with my car.  This was a huge blessing as things were coming down to the wire but the Lord is good.

Things to be praying for:

• In the next few days I have quite a bit of running around to do in preparation for the trip.  Pray that I would manage my time well between that and spending some time with both friends and family
• Pray for the rest of the Czech Team as they prepare to go and serve at the English Camp.  For several, this is their first time going to the Czech Republic
• Pray that the Lord would be preparing hearts in the Czech Republic
