Heading North

Over the last two years we have made several trips and have had lots of conversations about reaching out to international students at Fulton Montgomery Community College. This progressive school is courting international students and even building dormitories to house them. The current projection is to have 300 full time international students inside of two years.
Local professional and business people are starting mentoring relationships and now God's people are getting involved too.
Some of the trainees from our class have already contacted their new international friend.






They loved the training that took them to a new comfort level with a different culture.

They had alot of fun too in the dramas and the luncheon discussion afterwards!

Between Trips

Preparing for yet another trip, I ponder where the time went. The calendar reveals a missions conference at Calvary Church in Canterbury;

a quick trip to help Carol's parents on Cape Cod;

and an eventful visit from Alfred Snoctober!

Glad to have power back after 8 days! thank you, Jesus!

Marathon Trip

It is good to pace yourself, if you can. However sometimes, in spite of everything, you just have to depend on God's grace alone to get you through what He is calling you to do.

October 7 we drove to Rockville, MD and did a Friendship Partner training there. Three churches were represented and we are excited to see groundwork laid to reach out to Montgomery College.

The next day we were blessed to connect with people at Tapestry Vineyard before heading over to spend the afternoon and evening with former international student friends and their beautiful children.

Moving on to VA, we were blessed again to see Abby and Nick briefly amidst several days of appointments with key players for Washington D.C. area ministries.

Then we drove up to Lewisburg, PA to teach another F/P training. This time four churches were represented, with two of them anchors for reaching Bucknell University.

After 2 weeks on the road we reached home tired but happy to see God calling people into the harvest fields with such good response!
