Happy Easter…Here’s What’s Been Happening
Happy Easter! Isn’t it great that God loves us so much that He sent his son to die in our place, so we could be restored to a relationship with him?! We hope you have an an enjoyable Easter.
Things continue to move forward in high gear for us. Let me catch you up on some of the highlights from the last couple months. In February and March we did several presentations including a some for elementary students at our church in Ankeny. We gave an update to our supporters at Saint Mark’s Lutheran Church in Marion, IA. We got to share briefly on a Sunday morning during the services, with the elementary students’ Sunday school class, and again later in the week with their 50+ (years-old) group.

Last month I wrote two posts about some of the unexpected ways God has been working as we raise support. This week the surprises continued. During a conference call with some of the leadership at MAF we discussed a new plan that drastically changes our path moving forward.

Stephanie and I had plans to take the family to visit churches in Sioux City that day, and since it is a considerable distance from home we had stayed overnight with some cousins of mine. They had contacted their pastor, told him we would be in town, and asked if he would be willing to meet with us. He agreed, so we met at the local coffee shop/pharmacy. Read more…
