We joined with Extreme Response in Jan 2011 as the Global Team Manager and Assistant in the Atlanta office, working to expand the short-term teams department so we can better serve our partners around the world. Although we live in Atlanta, we will be spending much of our time out of the country leading teams. God continues to use us to further His Kingdom, to encourage and lead many others to know Jesus Christ, and to help change lives among those living in extreme circumstances.

Our Celebration Dinner for Bible Study
We wrapped up our Bible study last week with some really great prayer time and plans for next year. We always like to give our friends some sort of celebration at the end, mostly food, and for tonight the celebration will be the same. The only twist is that instead of a home cooked meal it is going to be KFC. Yes that means Kentucky Fried Chicken. To them this is like going out to a nice restaurant for their favorite meal. We really thought we would take them somewhere that they have never been but we had a conversation with a couple of them on Sunday and they told us they love to have a piece of chicken with the bone and chips (fries as we say in the states). They told us they just don’t get this unless it is a special treat, so we are making it a special treat. The things we think are so simple mean so much to folks who have nothing. We are excited that we have been blessed to be able to provide them with some comfort food and always remind them that it is not from us but from the Lord. We are excited to see what God will do next year and I am especially excited because they are keen to do a study on Biblical Financial Principles. It is going to challenge me because I am finally going to get the opportunity to put together a 4 or 5 week study for them before we return in January. This has been my prayer for a long time and it looks like it is finally going to come together. Please pray for me to be able to find the time to put the study together.
