Wowzers! Walking out of the airport I was completely overwhelmed by wave after wave of emotions. After putting all that I had into seeing this year’s Campus Target team reach Asia, I had just waved the last worker through security at the Rochester airport. The final push to get them there involved crazy things I [...]
Hey! I’m home! That’s right, after about 42 hours of travel I arrived back where I started in New York. That was 5 days ago, and I’m just starting to feel like I’m making real progress on my jet-lag. Unfortunately, I got the flu over the weekend, but I’m almost over that as well. So [...]
I don’t know if you ever feel this way, but so often I feel like in each thing I do for God it’s ultimately His grace that carries me over the finish line. A little more than a month ago I was praying about our last few weeks here, and felt the urge to ask [...]
