Friends & family- I will be showcasing some G42 blogs over the next few days, and this one is a great one to start with. I am hitting the ground running here, and beginning to look at visa requirements for Spain (They’re pretty extreme!). Anyway, check out this blog by Seth Barnes (full blog here.) […]
Reunion

New Pic of my Boy

Battle Cry
There was a great passage read in chapel today, one that gives us here renewed strength, confidence, and security. I went back and took a look at The Message paraphrase version, it’s even better, a true battle cry. Psalms 118:5-16 Pushed to the wall, I called to God; from the wide open spaces, he answered. […]
G42 Church in Swaziland!
The first G42 church was started this past week. And the first pastor ordained. And the first orphan’s center inagurated. It was a great week for our team in Nsoko, Swaziland and an even better week for the orphans and community that will be touched and strengthened by God’s love. Check out this video. (I can […]
