I would honestly love to fill you in on all of the thoughts
that have been swirling around in my head and my heart these past few months.
Instead of starting so big, I am feeling obligated to give you the facts of
life. Sorry that’s it’s been awhile!

My current location can be tagged in the town of Coleraine,
Northern Ireland. (Never did I think I would end up in Ireland when I signed up to lead this World Race!) Kyla, Kim and I have been blessed to spend the past few days
living in the home of a more-than-generous Irish family that loves the Lord. We
hadn’t even met these people before arriving. That’s the way our God works – he
brings his family together in unprecedented ways! I love it.

We’ve been using this time away from the P Squad to pray
over some big decisions and then begin to hash them out. It’s been a blessing
to have the time and space in which to do that, though I wish we could hide
away here for another week!

Jesus has also blessed us with beautiful weather and fun
excursions in the Irish countryside. See photos below.

Kyla, Kim and I (Charlie’s Angels, anyone?) are in charge of over-seeing approximately
70 people that are split into a total of eleven teams. These eleven teams have
been spending the month of September in a total of four countries. That’s
right: I said four. Six in Ireland, two in Romania, two in Moldova, and one in
Czech Republic.

The three of us are flying out to Budapest, Hungary on
Thursday. From there, we are venturing our way to Romania. We will spend a week
or so with the teams in this country and then will head back to the city of
Bucharest to prepare for the rest of the squad to join us. During the span of
about two days, Kyla, Kim and I will begin the process of handing the
leadership of this squad to our new squad leaders. On October 31st,
I will head back to the States and the rest of the squad will fly to Africa.

It’s been amazing to see God’s hand at work in this entire
process! I am continually thankful for the honor of being entrusted with the
lives of 70 incredible, passionate and loving individuals. Please keep us in
your prayers as we enter into this time of change and transition!
