Only 5 days until Jennifer and I leave for our Kenya trip. I just wanted to thank everyone who has given things for us to take to children of Nakuru. Here are a couple of pics. The first is Korin and Isabel Deitch who got a bunch of black dress shoes from Goodwill (I think) and [...]

More conflict, please

Today we're discussing Chapter 12 in the Flickering Pixels group blog project. I feel personally challenged to speak my mind, and be more forthright with people, even if it means risking conflict.

Help Us Fill Our Suitcases - Kenya Trip Update

Paul — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:49:53 +0000

Only 9 days until our trip to Kenya. I don’t know why I didn’t mention this here earlier, but Jennifer and I are going to take an extra suitcase each filled with stuff for the kids in Kenya. Last Wednesday I posted a list of the things you can donate on the Kenya Trip Facebook [...]

Kenya Trip Update - Dead End or Barrier to Overcome?

Paul — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:52:07 +0000

Only 17 days before Jennifer and I are supposed to board a plane for Kenya and we have run into 2 huge barriers in the last week. Barriers so insurmountable on several occasions we thought we would have to cancel the trip. Thursday I got a call from my dad. He and my mom had graciously [...]

In Case of Emergency

Sunday the worship service at my church focused on the church and school we partner with in St. Louis Da Nord, Haiti. Then God thought it would be fun to kick me in the pants on Monday, too.

Do you want to know the future?

Paul — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:45:24 +0000

Sunday I had the remarkable opportunity to be on the front lines where physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual battles are taking place. Our worship services were on the topic of healing and at the end of each service our pastor invited people to come forward for prayer with the spiritual leaders of the church. For [...]

One Last Shot

Six weeks from tomorrow we’ll be on a plane to Kenya. I can hardly wait! We purchased our airline tickets earlier this week (actually Delta charged us 3x for the tickets and put us over our credit card limit. What a headache!) and just a couple of hours ago Jennifer and I got our first [...]
