Well, where to start. We have now been back for a little over a week and there has been so much to process and to do. Liz and I have been back at Grace Fellowship Church (the church that Liz worked at before we left)! We've been absolutely loving it! I'm officially the Worship pastor for the junior high group and Liz is helping to find places where the junior highers can serve there community and serve others. It has been a blast and already this weekend I took a handful of junior high boys camping in San Clemente for "Mancation." We tossed "boulders," swam in the cold water, lounged on the beach, "fought" some skunks at night, and spent some time learning about God's love and what it means for our lives.
As the rest of our team from India trickles home, we will begin to process our experience and dream towards the future of the partnership between ROCKHarbor and Harvest India. There will be many meetings I'm sure as we begin to unpack and seek God prayerfully for what HE is doing in India. Please, please, please continue to pray for us as we seek God's perfect Will in this. Also pray for us as we assimilate back into Western culture and seek our next steps as a family. We really feel God is calling me to pursue music as a career for His Glory. So I will be pushing the band (Making Eyes) as hard as I can. Pray that God would open up doors for shows, labels, tours, endorsements, good management/representation, and good Godly people that will walk alongside us throughout the process.
And...the moment many of you have been waiting for. Since we've been back, we were able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl! The verdict is in and we're having...A Son! Thanks for all of your prayers and we hope to see many of you again now that we're back! God Bless you all and we'll keep you posted on the blog on what God is doing in our lives!! May God's blessings be apparent and abundant in all your lives.
