Our team spent last weekend together for a few days of strategic planning. As the busy fall/winter ministry season comes full on, we focused our hearts once again on Jesus and discussed how we can better follow Him on mission in the coming ministry year. We talked through yearly priorities, brainstormed specific goals and metrics,… [Read more…]

We’re back in Athens after a week in Beatenberg – a mountain village in central Switzerland. Wow, talk about beautiful! I didn’t know that these kinds of places really existed outside of the movies! Breath-taking. So, what was the occasion? We gathered together with roughly 100 other International Teams workers from throughout Europe (plus a… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! We’re finally getting back to speed here in Athens. It’s good to be back. However, we haven’t yet got our cameras back to speed. So, here are a few more shots from our time in the US. Enjoy!

After four weeks in the US, we arrived back in Athens on Monday. It’s good to be home! We’re getting settled back into life here. Although our time in the US was marked by grief (and thank you deeply for your prayers, encouragement, and love during this time), we also had some good times catching… [Read more…]

Hi Praying Friends - Thanks for your love, encouragement, and prayers. Thanks especially for your prayers for Kristin’s dad, Kent. Kent’s lung collapsed “almost completely” on Friday. The doctors described this as a “catastrophic event” – which is in addition to a number of other complications. Kent is no longer alert or responsive. We pray… [Read more…]

I spent a weekend in Elmira, Ontario (Canada) earlier this month. About an hour outside of Toronto, Elmira is home to the offices of International Teams – Canada. [A very quick explanation for the uninitiated: International Teams sends out 1200 missionaries to over 200 teams around the world (in 66 countries, to be exact). The… [Read more…]

Happy Friday… and happy October! Or, as they say here, ΚΑΛΟ ΜΗΝΑ (ka-lo me-na) – roughly “have a good month.” As we posted on Tuesday, we spent last weekend at our fall vision/planning retreat. We had a great time away together as a team. It is encouraging to see how far we’ve come (by God’s… [Read more…]

Our team has two retreats each year. Our fall retreat is all business (vision casting, strategic planning, etc.)… but our spring retreat is just about connecting and equipping: connecting with God and each other; getting equipped for effective ministry. This year we found a hotel about 90 minutes outside of Athens on the island of… [Read more…]

Last week was a great week… and a very tough week. I joined together with 200 colleagues from around the world at an International Teams leadership conference in Turkey. We learned from one another; we discussed issues and challenges in our ministries; we celebrated God’s work together. One the other hand, I was away from… [Read more…]

After a lovely and busy time on home assignment, we’re ready to return to Athens! We’ve deeply enjoyed our time here with family, friends, and ministry partners. We’re heading back encouraged, refreshed, and anxious to rejoin God’s work in Athens! We covet your prayers today as we travel for almost 13 hours with a 2-year-old… [Read more…]

Happy Friday! As promised, here’s the photographic evidence of our visit to New England. Boston and Portland are both very beautiful cities. By the way, the churches we visited were both planted through Restoration House Ministries – a church planting group working exclusively in New England, one of the least churched regions in the US. … [Read more…]
