Team Expansion Meeting

So, we spent the day helping facilitate a special Team Expansion meeting in downtown Tulsa. It took place at the Centennial Park Community Center around 6th & Peoria. That is a really nice facility! It was a great day seeing some familiar faces and meeting some new people. It was a good start to lead into the National Missionary Convention that starts tomorrow.

A Little Bit of Italy

Some of our Italian friends and their family are visiting the US right now. They are members of the church in Ancona. We were able to visit with them last Thursday, September 25. It is the most that we spoke in Italian since we arrived in America. It was very encouraging for Angie and I, because most of it came back very quickly. We conversed and translated for the American host family they were also visiting. We know that God has us in the states for His reasons, however, it was very nice to have this slice of Italy. It added fuel to our already existing fire to return. We look forward to the time in which God has planned for us to return. Check out the smiling faces below.

In Southern California

We've made it to Southern California. Here are some pics of us with John & Judy Webb. We are looking forward to a refreshing time with these great encouragers.

Off to San Diego

We have been travelling and going to camps and vbs's since coming back from Colorado Springs at the end of June. We have also had good meetings with some of our churches as well. We are going to San Diego to spend time with our team pastors, John & Judy Webb. They live in Oceanside, California and are always a joy to visit. While we are there I will also get an opportunity to speak to some of John's classes at Hope International University. We'll be back in Oklahoma next week.

You Never Know

So you never know who you will be inviting to study God's Word. Sometimes it's a cafe owner's son, and sometimes it could be a terrorist's son. Christians just need to trust that God will take care of them in all situations and do what they have been called to do. The following article is incredible interesting -

Camp, Camp and More Camp

The last two weeks Angie and I have been the missionaries of two different High School camps. First at our home camp, Sunset Bible Camp in Mannford, Oklahoma. Then we went to Mission Lake Christian Camp in Horton, Kansas. We had never been there, but we had a great time sharing at both camps what God is doing and wants to continue to do in Italy. This Monday Angie and I have double duty with a VBS in the morning and Junior High camp at night. Then the next week we will fly out to Denver and Colarado Springs, Colorado for various meetings to advance the ministry. We are going to be exhausted by the end of the month.
