Our Travels

After traveling for two days and eating Krispy Kreme and Panera, we reached Richmond safely! At the first stop on our trip, Brian spoke briefly at the Middle District Association Minister’s Luncheon in Richmond where he shared a bit about his changed life and how God is moving in the state of Vermont. CC met us there and we went back to her house where we have been staying since we arrived on Tuesday. CC, Holly (my sister) and I took the kids to the Richmond Metro Zoo while Brian enjoyed a bike ride along the James River. We will be in VA, NC and SC over the next few weeks talking about what God is doing in Vermont, the least religious state in America.

March is here!

We have been very busy since our last post... having two children is definitely challenging, but we are enjoying each day! Nathanael is doing great wearing big boy pants... he has only had a few accidents in the last two weeks! He is even going without any help! He is excited about wearing undies with Thomas, Lightning McQueen and even firetrucks!! Katie is growing fast! She gets her first set of shots on Thursday. We are getting a bit more sleep as she has been able to go up to 6 hours at night without waking!! Enjoy these pictures from our last few weeks!

We are closer to our move to Waterbury and covet your prayers as we continue our journey. We were able to go to an evangelism conference in MA this past weekend where we were given lots of information and encouragement about ministering to the community and growing the church through evangelism. In the next few weeks we will be traveling to Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina to talk with folks about our plans for ministry in Waterbury and also raise support for the new church plant. Brian has been in contact with a few people in Waterbury with whom we will be able to volunteer in the future doing trail work and community service. Allison has been to the library the last two weeks and has been able to meet a few moms. Please continue to pray that God will soften hearts and cause us to develop relationships that will lead to people coming to know Him as Savior and Lord!
