As we all have been watching the news this week and seeing the path of destruction and lost lives that Katrina left in the Gulf Coast region, I wanted to share a word about where God was in this devastating event. God, in His Word, tells us that He brings afflictions into our lives to draw us closer to Himself."We do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia.

My mom is making and selling candied jalapenos, and asked me to make a label for her jars. I thought I'd post the label on here... that way y'all can see my graphic arts skills and who knows... maybe she might get some sales out of it. If you are interested in getting some, you can email her at sandramc@austin.rr.com and let her know. They come in regular and cranberry flavor and are available in

Just thought I'd share a smattering of the books I'll be reading this semester for school... and some of the ones I've bought recently to read that won't be getting read because of all the reading I have to do for my classes.MISSN 5353: Models for Church Planting Christian Reflections on the Leadership Challenge ed. by James Kouzes and Barry Posner Planting New Churches in a Post-Modern Age

Ok... so I'm really sorry I haven't posted in a while... but I wanted to let those who care, know what's going on with me.debriefing...So I had a really great trip back to my old stomping grounds where I served God for almost four years. It was way too short of a time though. I was able to get a lot things done to help the team I was a part of, things that I had no idea that I'd be doing while I

Hey guys,Sorry I haven't been able to get another update out until now. I did get to go out to the prefecture where the trainings were supposed to take place. The second training also did not get to take place because of weather and security related issues, however Father still filled my time here. I was also able to get a lot of people group research done while I was here, including a world view

This is the morning devotional for June 28th from Charles Spurgeon's, Mornings and Evenings. I was really blessed by it, so I thought I'd share it.Looking unto Jesus Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. - Heb 12:2It is ever the Holy Spirit’s

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd let you know what I've been up to here. I've completed two media projects in the short time that I've been here, and have several more that I'm working on. I'm still waiting to here on the training, so please be in prayer on that.I really enjoyed Sunday here... getting to go to house church. Also, my friend Chris came into town and we got to hang out some on Sunday

OK, so I'm in East Asia now, and have been here now three days (sorry I haven't gotten an update on here before now). After almost 20 hours on 4 planes, 2 hours on busses, an hour on a train and an overnight in Hong Kong, I finally got here. Talk about jet lag.It's been fun getting to see old friends and what's changed here in the city I used to live in. I've also already gotten busy working on

Here is the Prayer Guide that I had printed on the bookmarks for those that didn't get them. Sunday: Pray for new churches to be planted among the people group I'm working with. Monday: Ask for God to protect Jason during his time in East Asia. Tuesday: Lift up the training events Jason will help teach. Wednesday: Praise God for new believers in this people group and ask for Him

It's 6:30 am and I'm about to leave to get on the airplane to head to East Asia. Thought I'd drop a line and remind those that are following along here, to start praying daily for this trip, if you haven't already been. Please pray for smooth travels today for me and that I'd be able to make all my connections between flights, hotels, ferrys, etc... Also pray that I would be patient and full of

Ok. So I know I love dogs and all, but this will be fun to see how this goes.... Oh yeah, so I'm dog sitting this weekend for one of the managers where I work. Her and her husband went on vacation and needed someone to feed their dogs and watch their home (which is cool, cause they have cable!). They have two LARGE dogs. A wiemeraner (sp?) and a bull dog. Both are quite large. Anyway, they're

Just heard from the folks over where I'm going this summer and they are have the dryest year in over 30 years in that area. Being dry would not normally be a bad thing, since the rainy season can get old quick, but the dry weather is effecting the work among the people group we're targeting. Because most of these people are farmers, they rely on the rain to water their fields and nurish their

All of the funding for my trip has been raised! I greatly appreciate all who have helped me financially in this. I still need more people to committ to praying for me regularly during this time. I would like to have at least 50 people who I know are lifting me up before to the Father while I am over in East Asia. If you haven't already indicated that you will be praying for me, please let me know

If you haven't already heard, I had to shorten my trip. Instead of going for 2 months this summer, I will only be going for 2 1/2 weeks. I will still be able to participate in the training going on, which was the main reason for going. So, please mark your calendars to make sure you are praying for me while I'm there. I will fly out of Austin on June 20th and return on July 7. And if you haven't

I started signing all my emails and letters with this tag line several years ago as a subtle reminder (to both those who I write and to myself) that God ultimately has me and all things in His hands, and that He will receive the glory for everything He does through my febel body. When I decided to start this blog, I thought this title appropriately fit me and what I wanted to convey in it.It is
