It makes sense that after being home several days now and being over a week removed from our active ministry in Toulouse, France, that I should have a thing or two to write about. Filling in those of you who I haven?t talked to or who are just reading this to keep in the loop…
Read MoreFR: Testimony
Inside everyone there is something that they don’t want others to know. They try to cover it up and hide it from those around them. There is something about them that if those people around them knew, those people closest to them would leave. So masks and facades are dawned to keep them from seeing…

Another week done, I’ve lost count of the days here. I spent a lot of time on the phone the last day or so. Called and talked to Mom and Kyle before they left for Mexico with the church on their mission trip (building three houses, pretty sweet), talked to Ryan for a while on…
Read MoreFR: A Sort of Perspective
Well project is just past the half waypoint (was Monday) and I figure it would make sense to fill everyone in on what we are doing here and what we’ve done thus far. We’re here in France to start a movement of French students reaching out to other French students for Christ. To find the…
Read MoreFR: Another Week
Another week has past and the soil is getting harder, the top soil has washed away with the storm of our arrival and initial spirits. Satan is luring us from our plan by blinding our eyes to those who desire to be saved by He who sent us. Never in my life have I experienced…

Realizing that I just posted something yesterday and that I am now doing it again but there is a good reason. Last Sunday there is little doubt that I did not enjoy my church experience (whose only highlight was Sarah VLD’s comment “The only thing cuter than old people is Japanese old people.”), and this…
Read MoreFR: First Week Completed
We’ve made it through the first week of project work. Four days of surveying students and evangelism, a day of hanging out with new friends and meeting new people at the prairie des filtres. I was really glad to see Camille show up and she complimented me on my awesome water balloon tossing skills (Andrea…
Read MoreFR: Paul-Sabatier
There is no way to expressed how blessed our team is, and how blessed I feel to be here. I am the least of those who are on this project and I am in awe of the work that He is doing through us. Today we had our second day of evanglism and it’s amazing…
Read MoreFR: After a Few Days
Well it’s now been a couple days and I feel so at home. Like I’ve lived here for years (although at times I stumble on the language but I know more then enough to get by and to have some quazi-in-depth conversations) and it’s really only been 3-4 days. We did the tourist stuff already…
Read MoreFR: Figuring It Out
We’re HERE!!! And how surreal it feels, the time difference really isn’t getting to any of us, I believe that to be because of our super long travel day that didn’t end until later at night. It was something like 30 hours of travel in a row (we got to the Catholic Foyer around 8pm…
