Time has flown by — I’ve been itinerating for two months! In January and February I drove 4,367 miles all over southern California for meetings and services. Check out my latest newsletter here. Thank you for praying for me as I travel, raise support, and look for people to join a Take5 team!
Itineration begins
I arrived in CA two days before Christmas. It’s been a busy two months, to say the least, and I haven’t posted much on here about it. (Are you surprised? probably not.) Itineration started off with a tour of meetings throughout Southern California (San Diego to Fresno and everywhere in between) — 3 or 4 meetings per week, plus my Sunday services. I drove about […]
God answers prayer!
Moving overseas = lots and lots of details to be figured out! One such detail is packing up my house here and storing it all while I’m in America. God has answered our prayers about figuring all of that out! Just last month, a young couple moved to Chiang Mai to work at the village community center. I was able to help them start up […]
Last Two Weeks
It’s strange to think about leaving. Of course I’m excited, but in these Last Two Weeks there is a lot to do, but at the same time things are winding down and it feels strange. What do these Last Two Weeks hold? — Only TWO more services! Wow! — Only one more time to speak at Youth. — GRADUATION! — Time with my family — Going-away party — […]

Radio Revelations Part III – Tickets, “Bleeding Love,” and more “Road”
A few more things I’ve learned and observed from the radio: 7) On Tickets: Have you ever wondered how many theme park and concert tickets are given away on any given day by radio stations all over the nation? THOUSANDS. 8) On “Bleeding Love”: You can hardly listen to a few radio stations for 15 minutes without hearing Leona Lewis’ song “Bleeding Love.” A lot […]
I love my brother, and I love the body of Christ!
On Saturday, April 4th, my brother Evan had a bad bmx bicycle accident. He was at a college group retreat north of Bakersfield, and he was going off a wooden ramp, but something happened to the bike or ramp or both, we’re not sure. He faceplanted into the ramp, and was unconscious for several minutes. A helicopter flew him to the trauma center in Bakersfield, […]
Radio Revelations Part II – Three Measures, Culture, and “Travelin'”
More things I’ve observed and learned from listening to the radio: 4) Three measure max: I can usually tell what song is starting by hearing the first three measures. This is helpful when the song is one I don’t like – my fingers quickly flip to a different station. 5) On Culture: Listening to the radio gives me great insight into contemporary culture. Songs reveal what people […]
