Today was the day we were waiting for- no more pills and a doctor’s appointment. An American friend here recommended a doctor to us that speaks great english so after prayer with our team we ventured off to see Dr. David. First he did another ultrasound (that is 3 in two weeks!) The baby…

I’m so thankful for this opportunity to be here. It’s been really great to get to spend time with Ang and Cassie. Little Cassie says my name now every once in a while and I love it. We spend lots of time together making meals for Ang and sometimes the whole team. This morning we…

Well, now I have been on bed rest for 5 days. I’m learning a lot about myself during this time! Last sunday one of the girls on our team was preaching in a church about a verse in 2 Corinthians. Paul says that God’s grace is sufficient for him, because God’s power is made perfect…

Yesterday early afternoon Angela returned to home. The pill form of the contraction-hindering medicine has been working so far. So the doctor sent us home with medicine for 10 days. If nothing happens until then, we will probably return for a checkup. This is GREAT news for us! More great news, help has arrived!…

I have a wonderful husband! Please keep supporting him with your prayers. Right now he is trying to be a team leader to 4 teachers who are all teaching everyday all over Aremenia (this just happened to be our busiest teaching week yet!) Also, he is trying to be a single dad to Cassie and…

Hey everyone, just lying here for the second night in the hospital. Still no contractions so that is good. Maybe I’ll find out more tomorrow. Just thought I would write a quick note of thanks for all the emails, love and prayers. I probably won’t write back to the emails, but I read every one!!!!

Wednesday (Yesterday), the doctors stopped Angela’s contractions with medicine. She is still on the drip and hasn’t had contractions since. Yesterday, they gave the baby steriods to help its lungs develop strength. Those steriods need at least another twelve hours before they take full effect so Angela will stay on the drip until then. After…

I just wrote a great blog, and somehow I erased it :( The undo button won’t work. Arghhhh. Well, I won’t re-write it all. Let’s just say that we are having a really great time seeing people’s lives impacted here in Armenia, and having our lives impacted as well! Everyone has been kind, hospitable and very…

Yerevan, Armenia. We landed safe and sound Thursday at 1am in the morning. It took nearly two more hours before we all had our visas and were on our way home … when the taxi stalled leaving half our team stranded. But the place we are staying – too high for our expectations. It is…
-
Well we have some good news – our whole team got all the money they needed and tomorrow we are off for Armenia. We’ve had some meaningful prayer times and some overwhelming logistics meetings but we are super excited to be on our way! Now we are saying good bye to our friends here in…

As we booked the tickets for our team to go to Armenia I was again reminded of the need for Titus Project Europe. The cost for us to send a team to Armenia from Taiwan (which is the closest Titus Project) is huge! Once we get there the cost of living is cheap, but we…

How many of you have ever had a tooth pulled? I think Dad threatened me once that he would use the plyers. Or did he get the string and tie it to a door and slam the door? I can’t remember. Leaving Taiwan last July we had no idea when we would return here to Taiwan. We…

Ben and I were praying together today for closure from this amazing time and home and vision for what lays ahead! Isn’t it easy to look back on the past and wish for it again, as opposed to looking ahead with expectation? Reflecting: The past five months have been filled with some difficult times…

It has been very exciting for us the past few days. We launched our Titus Project Europe Website! Complete with online application forms and reference forms we are set up and ready to go for our very first Titus Project in Europe! Please check it out: http://Europe.TitusProject.com

This year at our church we are focusing on simple. Keeping Christmas meaningful, worshipful. Check out the video and website www.adventconspiracy.com But how this works out practically is the challenge. I think it is a matter of perspective. We are still doing gifts with our families, but we are keeping it simple. Stockings, one…

This is one of the areas I feel I have to constantly work on and strive for. Strive for rest… oxymoron? But it is true I do have to make a concerted effort not to overwork myself. I suppose I come by it naturally, my mom and dad have always been hard workers. Hard work is…

Global Impact my def: Making a positive difference to people that live in cultures and countries other than my own. One very cool thing about making a global impact is that often the impact reverberates right back into your own life. As you learn about others and help them, they often help you just as…

This past weekend Ben went on a men’s retreat (see photos). On the way there he killed a bear by hitting it with his truck. While he was there a bunch of guys went target shooting so of course Ben joined in the fun. It was the first time he shot a real gun. So between killing a bear…

Just doing a little reading and I came across this quote: "For example, America was founded on the idea of liberty, but we have taken that to the extreme. Originally, the word meant ‘the right to do what is right.’ But this postmodern society has changed its meaning so that, for many people today,…
