Commissioned

Today we were commissioned by First Baptist Church of Narragansett.  We watched a video titled, March of the Unqualified . 
The video presents that the Lord consistently uses individuals that society would identify as unqualified, to do great things for the growth of His kingdom.  It was encouraging as the Lord has called our imperfect family to service in Germany.  In Pastor John's sermon, from Acts 13, versus 1-4, he explained how the Antioch church set apart, sent away and sent out Barnabus and Saul, as they had been instructed by the Holy Spirit.  The elders then laid their hands on our family and prayed for us.  Thank you God for providing us with such a loving and supportive family at First Baptist.

Car Wash #2

The Lord blessed us with a beautiful day for a car wash.  We had many friends and family come to show their support for our mission.  We washed approximately 50 cars as we shared our vision for serving the Lord in Germany.  Thanks to all who came out.

A Great Opportunity

Rob had a blessed trip to Korea.  He had an opportunity to work with 30 students (some of whom are pictured above) who have the desire to attend college in the United States.  While there, Rob assisted the students in the college application process, financial aid and essay writing.  Rob was reunited with Joseph Kim, who leads Central Christian Academy, and his family whom we worked with at Black Forest Academy.  The time in Korea was a blessing as Rob grew in his understanding of Korean students and their culture.  He also had an opportunity to establish partnerships with a few churches and families in Suwon, Korea.  The Lord's hand was clearly involved this entire experience as if it had not been for His calling on our lives to serve at BFA during the 2009-2010 school year, the connection with Joseph would not been made.
