Steve's Update

What an exciting several months we have had.

In the office, I'm continuing to work on various computer-related projects for the office.  We've been improving our email systems. We're in the process of re-shaping various online systems as we seek to stay relevant to the next generation in a world of social media.  We're excited by the possibilities this brings in terms of education, giving, communication, and mobilization in this generation. We're also updating various internal systems, and working on various other projects to better enable our staff and missionaries to serve in the areas God has called them.

Outside the office, much has been happening too.  Grace and I have been seeking ways to be relevant in the community God has placed us.  We are so excited by the opportunities in our neighborhood.  It's quite the international mission field.

We've been connecting with internationals, at-risk families, single parents, and various others that God has placed in our lives. There are several that are now showing an interest in coming to our church and/or life group. 

At the same time, God has been hard at work in our lives, teaching, stretching, molding us into his image.  That's a hard thing at times! Working through our brokenness is humbling, painful, and sometimes lonely.  But it's often in the brokenness that God is able to do incredible things.  It's often there that we see Him glorified.

Thanks so much for your prayer and support of our family. You are all such an important part of what we do.  Please continue to pray:

• protection - we have an enemy seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. Pray for our whole family.
• wisdom in the work Steve is doing at the office
• guidance and opportunities in the ministry we have in our community

Thanks so much!

Steve.
