Seeing some of England
This past Saturday we decided we had better get out there and start seeing some of this country we live in now. We drove east of here to the county of Northhamptonshire and down some country roads to Kirby Hall. Building began in 1570, but was modified and extended in the 17th and 18th Century. [...]
Moving Forward
I got an update this week from a couple of the church planters in Slovakia and wanted to share with all of you. First, Peter and Lucia (the church planters in Brezno) emailed me. They are in the process of looking for a house to purchase and have been talking to banks about mortgages and [...]
Third Week of March
This has been a bit of a slower week. We are still recruiting teams for this year although it seems like many churches have already set their mission year. Yesterday was a day away from the office. The STM team and a few staff from Kings went up to Stafford to listen to Gordon MacDonald speak. [...]
Five Months Old
Where has the time gone, our little girl is growing up! Lauren is now 15lbs and doing beautifully! She loves playing and being around other kids. She likes to be tickled by her daddy. She can’t roll over yet, but she’s working on it. I also expect it won’t be long until she can sit [...]
Prayer & Praise

Several people have expressed some prayer needs that won’t be mentioned specifically here. But please pray for both physical and spiritual [...]

Stuff
This past Friday we had 16 boxes of stuff delivered from Canada. It’s been three months since we packed it all up and left Calgary. It was a bit like Christmas, opening boxes and finding things we had forgotten we packed. The interesting thing to us was how well we have managed without those things. [...]
New Faith
While in Slovakia, we visited Banska Bystrica on Sunday morning for service. Here we ministered in the mother church of the church plant in Brezno (visited on Sunday night). It’s a great church with a pastor who moved from Congo back in 1983 and has lived in Slovakia since then. In each service this church gives the [...]
Learning Our New Culture
In order to better understand our new culture, I’m reading a book called “Watching the English“. It is written by Kate Fox who is an English Anthropologist. She spent several years studying the culture and has humourously written down the unspoken rules of English society. Here is an excerpt: I spent several amusing afternoons in busy, crowded public [...]
