On 04/05/06 our son Jace entered the world and so this week we celebrated the big first birthday! The caterpillar cake that Terri carefully crafted remained relatively intact but there was a lot of green icing around.
It was a good time of celebrating the blessing of our son and reconnecting with family who had returned from afar for the occasion.
Keeping us hopping and on our toes in the office are keeping connected with exciting things going on with the camps in India and for me preparations for camps in Belize. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as regular curve balls come our way but it's amazing how God hits home runs off curve balls and that is certainly what we've been seeing.
For example I have to share with you about my friend and co-labourer in Belize Alex Perez. For whatever reason he was not allowed on his flight to return home from Canada (they said he was too late but apparently he came to check in with 1.5-2 hours to spare). So he missed his flight, then got another flight into Mexico. Then he got sent back to Canada for "unexplained visa trouble." Then he got routed through El Salvador where he was delayed for some time. Where some people may see the opportunity to lay low and relax a little Alex had the "craving to share the ministry with a church there." Along the way it seems he meets every prodigal out there restoring their connection to the church. There's quite a story behind all that but the bottom line is this Alex guy is "gung-ho for Jesus!"
