USA! USA! USA!

If you were living under a rock and missed the USA’s match against Algeria yesterday… then you miss something thing truly special. I have loved soccer all of my life and have watched many games but… this… was… the most amazing game ever. USA who face certain elimination from the World Cup without a win, scored in STOPAGE TIME to win the game! With the emotion of a stressful game, missed chances, and two robbed goals… it all made for one magical moment.

Check out THE GOAL!

Check out the reaction!

(My moment resembled the “random dude in Arkansas”) 

USA! USA! USA!!!

Wayumi Tribal Training

New Tribes Missions is an amazing organization that with Gods leading; trains, equips, supports, and sustains missionaries to REACH the ends of the world for the Gospel.  They do everything they can to help and aid missionaries as they prepare for life on the mission field.  As Bree and I are about to dive head-first into their training programs in August; I thought you would all enjoy a look into some of the training that they offer.  This is a training facility that NTM has in Pennsylvania that helps students get a unique hands-on training for Tribal missions that is as real as it gets!  It’s truly a tribal experience without leaving the USA.

Hume

Last weekend we had a real great chance to head up to Hume Lake for some family time.  Bree’s Brother, Sean was graduating from the Joshua Wilderness Institute, which is an intense 9-month College discipleship program run by Hume Lake Christian Camp.  Bree and I are actually alumni from Joshua; we both attended and graduated from the ’05-’06 class. The JWI is designed to help college aged young adults take 9-months out of life their busy hectic lives to truly lean how to draw close to the Lord (without distractions) and understand His calling on they’re lives.

Along side of Sean’s celebration, we celebrated a rather large milestone.  We celebrated Bree’s mom’s 50th b-day!  She thought we were just there for the weekend from Sean grad…  but to her surprise, we were there for close to a week!  Not only that, but all of her children were there as Bree’s older brother, Ryan, drove down from Idaho with his wife and child!  That was very important because with Bree’s parents being missionaries, we don’t get to have them in the states but every 3-4 years. Needless to say, it was a blast!

Night Of Worship

Bree and I had an awesome opportunity to be apart of the Night Of Worship with Leeland, Phil Wickham, and Matt Maher at Cornerstone.  It was such a blessing to have those guys around and lead us for the night.   
 
While we were there, I got a phone call from some guys who I used to mentor in years past.  They were at the concert and wanted to meet up.  It turned out to be about 10 or so of the kids that Bree and I had the absolute privilege of leading while they were in Junior Highers in WyldLife (Junior High version of YoungLife).  I cannot tell you how rewarding and fulfilling it is to see the kids of whom you had the chance to pour into… thriving in they’re walks with the Lord.  I felt like I was amongst giants  when I was with them (both spiritually and physically…).  God has “stolen they’re hearts” as Leeland would say it, and they are gearing up to be great vessel for the Lord. 
 
What a great evening.  When you gather God’s community like that and Worship together… it feel as if your spirit gets reinflated again
