Well...
It has been almost exactly one month since our last post and we are sorry.
This has been a crazy month, but that is not a good excuse.
To fill you in a bit and catch you up...
1. Guatemala was incredible. God used this trip to confirm and affirm what we have been called to do. He also connected us to some amazing leaders who are really excited about our work here in the US, reaching our to their people.
2. Kristina was called to go back to Austin for a project launch that she has been working on for a while now. They went live yesterday. This is a big deal for the city of Austin. Please pray for her and all the other tired, stressed, and
under appreciated people she works with. She is set to come home next Monday.
3. We started our first outreach to the people of
Monterey. God hooked us up with a bread distributor who was willing to give us some of their product that would normally be sold in their "day old" bread stores. We partnered up with the Mexican restaurant up the street and together we are serving needy families by providing free bread and bread products on Monday and Tuesdays from 2-7pm. Please pray for the needy families, this project and for the Family who has opened up their business and is taking a financial risk in order to serve the community.
4. It is finally getting a little warmer here. It has not snowed in over a week. It is actually sunny and almost non-windbreaker weather.
5. I have started a consulting job in Nashville with a great group of leaders who are wanting to plant a church that reaches out to East Nashville. I will be working with them for probably the next 6 months. Not only will this be a great opportunity for us to help out in the area of church planting, but also an answer to prayer in regards to our finances. My hope is that we will have enough consulting clients that we will not have to depend on donor support. We are not there yet, but maybe that is God's plan to keep us humble and dependent on Him.
6. I'm sure I have forgotten something.
