The last couple of months have been a blur!

Ellie was home from Bible school and we had a great time together as a family. We celebrated Adelaine’s 18th birthday, made a day trip to the mountains, ate Christmas feasts, and enjoyed time with friends and family.

After the new year we have been even busier with end/start of year budgets and reports, Naomi helping edit a new book, revamping our main website and so much more.

This week finds us busily getting ready for another No Ordinary Weekend (NOW) event. On Friday we load up the trailer and vans and drive to the camp where we will be hosting around 150 people for an evangelistic weekend!

Naomi will be working with around 40 children, and we are looking at about 100 adults and teens in the classroom where Troy will co-teach.

Please pray with us and for us as we prepare for this important ministry weekend. We expect lives to be changed as we share a simple and clear Creation-to-Christ explanation of the gospel message.

A week after NOW, Troy will be making a quick trip to Europe for some important meetings. We’ve shared before about a ministry in Northern Ireland that prints and ships thousands of our books at no charge. Troy will be meeting with them to discuss future projects and how we can get more books printed and distributed to target areas around the world. After that, Troy flies to Germany for a couple days of meetings with our partners there. The need in Europe is so big, with so many different languages. We want to be able to equip churches, ministries, and people with tools to help explain a clear gospel message. Please pray for these short but full days of meetings as we look at how we can expand the reach of the gospel.
