Bethany College of Missions, Our Vacation and Current Happenings

Hey to all! Well, long time no blog.  There has been a lot that has happened since the last post and man, God is on the move!  We are now living on the Bethany College of Missions campus, like we were when we first moved here.  It is such a blessing to Grace because of her blindness. This winter caused her to not be able to get out a whole lot and hang with others because she can't drive.  So, now that we are on campus, there is much more hope to hang with others w/o the struggles.  Also, there is consistent hunger here at Bethany like I have never seen in person, in a corporate body before.  If you want to know more about what is going on here, check out the BCOM blog.

Grace and I also got back from our vacation not long ago and had a blast!  Below are some pics...enjoy!

The New Xanga

Well, I like the new xanga stuff they have added.  It has been a while since I have posted, but I am trying to do it more because using this new browser: Flock, makes it easier.  You all ought to try it. 

Well, things are crazier than ever and this past week was my busiest of the year yet.  I taught some classes at BCOM, sought to finish the new BCOM brochure, took Grace to a
Valentine's banquet, spoke to the ministry team at the MN ATF, took care of Grace and Arden because they both were sickly, and much much more!  And in the midst of all that got to see Liz Thompson!  What fun!!!  Grace and I didn't get to get to the ATF itself because of Grace feeling not so good, but she is starting to get back on her feet. 

God is on the move here at Bethany College of Missions, and I am loving it more than ever!  The world of missions is converging with the prayer movement and I am on the edge of my seat to see how Bethany falls into it all!  We have a conference coming in April called Contend, with Jaeson Ma and Tim Miller from IHOP.  If anyone is in the area, you are more than invited.  At that point Grace and I hope to maybe own a home.  We are seeking out the possibilities right now because we will need to be out of our current place by the Spring.  Love you all, and I will try to post a little more than I have.

Trying To Keep Up

Hey to all!  Well, my Bethany College of Missions crew just made a comment on my last post making fun of me because of my lacking in posts, and walking out digital communications (which I taught a class on at BCOM).  So, here I am!!!!  No more can be said.  I just saw a post that said "Xanga is dead".  I know that my world has sped up in changing the world for the Kingdom at Bethany, and as a result I have been leaning into Facebook where it seems that everyone is beginning to land. 

However, I just want to let everyone know that I do like xanga for the sake of getting to read the depths of peoples' hearts in many posts, but just don't have the time to keep up with it all.  And my Subscription emails stopped hitting my inbox for months and they just started again...weird.  So, maybe my posts won't be so far between now.  Love you all!!!

Long Time No Post!hehe

Hey to all!  The other day I got to sit in a small meeting with the head of Frontiers, Ralph Winter's daughter and grand daughter, and someone from the Center of World Missions.  If you don't know, Ralph Winters pioneered what many of us know as the 10/40 window or defining unreached peoples.  So, needless to say it was cool, but more than that, they were asking us at Bethany College of Missions for wisdom in what they do.  And were wanting to partner with us in the awesome missionary training we are doing!  What is more crazy, is that all these places keep wanting to partner with BCOM because this place just rocks!  Between Teen Mania, YWAM, our IHOP connection, etc, Bethany is blessed to be at the forefront of missions as we know it.  And our BHOP is redefining missions through night and day prayer!  I love all that God is doing here!  If you haven't had a chance to check out the new BCOM website that I created, take some time to check it out.  I am still working on it and it is coming along well.

Life has been crazy and I am barely keeping up with our personal communication with others outside of our immediate presence.  We haven't started slacking, but just things and influence have increased here at Bethany.  I am leading 3 worship watches in Bethany House of Prayer, am an advisor to one of the student mentors, running all of Admissions, Marketing, etc for BCOM, overseeing one of the spiritual formation classes and teaching other classes along the way.  And I still don't think that gives the full picture.  Wheww, but never losing sight of Jesus!

Grace, Arden and myself are havin a rockin fun time together!  You ought to check out the Parks Family You Tube and see Arden's latest "Poop Explosion!"haha  I am lovin my little man!!  He is so fun and smiley and I just can't stop lookin at him and lovin on him.  Keep prayin for because it still limits her in so many areas.
