Friends, here are a few exciting current happenings that are helping us take steps towards equipping and serving the Church in Eastern Europe. 

 Latvia and Estonia Visit

I am currently in North-eastern Europe visiting some churches and church planting teams in Latvia and Estonia, two countries with similar economic, political, and spiritual climates as Slovakia.  I am traveling with our friend Todd Morr, who spent years in the Czech Republic and Romania with Josiah Venture, and is now serving with Soma in Tacoma, Wa.  I hope to encourage and learn from the family of God in these countries.

 Church Plant In Conway, Arkansas!

For the past four years we have been discipling college students at The Greenhouse, a ministry of the Summit Church in Little Rock, a 25-mile drive from us.   We are excited that God has called the Summit to plant a new expression in our city, Conway, Arkansas!  I have the great privilege of serving alongside Kyle Reno and Blake Hudspeth, dear friends and highly gifted pastors who remind me daily of the Father’s costly grace I stand in. This transition of the Greenhouse into being a part of a fuller expression of the local body of Christ is a great answer to prayer as we finish our last year in Arkansas!

Church Planting Residency

Next fall, Laurel and I will begin a two-year Church-planting residency with Soma before we move to Europe.  We are in the final stages of deciding which city would best equip us for what God is calling us to.

PLEASE PRAY…

for an even deeper understanding of the gospel in this season.

for Summit Conway to bring good news to the city.

that we might equip and learn from the church in Latvia and Estonia.

for our decision and transition to the church planting residency.

for a couple that is considering joining us in this journey.

that Laurel would have an incredible nine days while I am away!

Enjoying peace with God,
