Fireworks and Fried Chicken

Seeing the Finish Line So the holiday season arrived and the sweet scent of vacation loomed over us. After our Smonday of rest, we saw the finish line two days away. In the meantime, we celebrated the American tradition with six friends on Tuesday night. We didn’t quite embrace the fully loaded Thanksgiving dinner, but [...]

A Fresh Coat of Paint

About a month ago my wife and I moved into our new apartment. When I say new, I mean new to us. It’s actually quite an old building, and the apartment has what you could call character. It has its fair share of quirks and improvements that need to be made, but despite the character [...]

So here I was in the middle of writing our next blog to send out to you dear ones about our awesome Turkey party we had Sunday with tons of our friends, but I ended up having to save it because our 2 friends showed up to our house a little early.  God knew what [...]

This past week was a good one here in GZ. It started on a Wednesday night, where Knight and I went to a canteen and picked two guys to sit next to, have dinner with and hopefully share the good news with if we could. We talked a bit and then they had to go [...]

I Didn’t Know I Felt That Way Until I Said It Out Loud

The Competition I must throw a disclaimer your way before diving into the story: now that I walked through this, I see how God used this for His benefit. About two weeks ago, the competition came into play. One of our leaders introduced the idea to cement into our noggins the recipe for church planting [...]

Hope When It Hurts

Monday, November 7th, 2011 by Clover

Hope When It Hurts Crazy story: our language teacher once contacted the Passion conference to share her testimony about how God transformed her heart; she became the spokesperson for this nation and how God moves every day. There’s an even cooler background story, but I’ll save that for another time. Where I’m going with this [...]
