First Sermon

Well last night I officially preached my first sermon in church. I had done a couple of short lessons with the youth group, but last night was the first time I preached in front of the whole church. God definitely blessed. At first I thought I was going to throw up, but once I started I felt pretty good. Thankfully, I made it through, and more importantly, the Gospel was preached. Now that it is behind me, I really just want to start in on the next sermon. I really enjoyed the opportunity to preach.
Well, not really too much to update everyone with since I saw many of you at Drew’s wedding or at the Bible conference in Laramie. It was great to see everyone, and to get a glimpse first hand at LVC’s new building.

Kristen is doing well. She has about four weeks before the baby is born, so please continue to pray for a healthy delivery.

Emma is getting bigger every day it seems, and she is learning all kinds of new things. Raising her in this dual language environment is a lot of fun, and she learns so fast.

As I finished up my time in Laramie, I was once again reminded of God’s call on our lives to be in Germany. I had a great time seeing family and friends, and I was thankful to eat a good American steak (thanks Andy Bastian). However, during my time I had an urgency to get back to what God has called me to hear in Germany. I don’t know what he has in store for us, but I am overjoyed for the opportunity to learn more about the ministry and His kingdom work. Please continue to pray that God would guide us in wisdom and truth, and pray for more opportunities to sow seed.
