Ecuador, Light, and "The Start of Something New"

Hello again, everyone.


Right now, Kevin, Dan and I are in the throes of being so prepared for leaving for Ecuador we've worked ourselves out out of work.  But I'm finding ways to spend our time, like writing long notes on women speaking in the church, praying in Jesus' name, and sneaking in some renegade skype chat time.  We're not supposed to do video or IM chat during office hours to save bandwidth and keep focused but Dan, Kevin and I are the only office staff in Atenas, and much of the time, Dan is out of the office.  That, and the fact that we're ready - I laxed a bit on that rule towards the end of this week.  But we're going to Ecuador on Saturday.  Our flight leaves at 10:20 am tomorrow and deeply excited and ready for this.  I don't know a whole lot on the trip, and most of what I do know is a lot of technical stuff, but here's a quick project overview as well as some prayer requests.  And Kevin did an excellent job making it into a cool graphic design much prettier than words on a screen.

Secondly, meet Matthew Brue, a graduate of the Oakridge Discipleship House out in Florence, Texas and he's an awesome man of God.  He just released an album two days ago, I've bought it and am listening to it as we speak.  It's really good, you can get it on I-tunes.  Here's  a little bit about him - God be praised.

Lastly, a close and dear friend of mine, Shelley Dormont, who did family portraits to fund raise for me just wrote a new post and it's really good so I wanted to share it with you all.  It's called "Beauty in Black and White" and if you want to see it in person, and you're in Georgetown, it's in Cianfrani Coffee Company downtown.  National Geographic should be jealous to have some of these.


Anyway, thanks again to all who are listening, giving, and praying, and may God rain down blessings on you all.


p.s. I'll start posting support updates as I receive them.  As far as I know, I receive updates when they change - when someone has donated.  You'll find them in the "Support" page, for information on my funds, and on how to give if the Holy Spirit nudges you to give. Thanks and blessings.
