had a cookout/bonfire last night at Matt Moore's house, sort of a mini-reunion for everyone who has just come back. it was great to hear stories from the first week team [including the saga for the six of them trying to find my jeep in the big blue parking deck at the detroit airport...] and of how perspectives have been changed since coming home. lots of dissatisfaction [in a good way] with the consumer-driven American lifestyle that pursues comfort and excess. worlds definitely shifting for the better.
we also decided to plan some sort of hangout later this summer for everyone from akron who has been to haiti with mission of hope - i think the count is around 40 by now! exciting how the kingdom is expanding. :)
next haiti trip is planned for mid-august... as details come into focus, i'll be sure to share!
thank you again to everyone who has been so supportive of me and our team. i sincerely am grateful for your prayers, conversations, and financial support. i wouldn't be able to do any of this without the help of the body of Christ - and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. Praise God for the ways He provides through His church!
to Him be the Glory!

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10
