I am always reminding people as we wrap up our mission trips and prepare to return to the USA that, even though we are leaving, God remains on the field pouring his love into the lives of those we have grown to love. What I often forget is that when we leave our loved ones to serve God overseas, he remains back home pouring his love into the lives of our loved ones.

Change Agent
12 months ago we began our work in Santos Dumont, Brazil. Our goal: to help a church of a little over 100 members become a major influence and source of hope in this community of approximately 45 thousand. Last week our team began year two of our partnership with Pierre's church. Mark spoke to over 400 businessmen about "the secret of a winning team." We also took part in the graduation of 90 students from our Care Center's first computer class. We worked in an extremely poor neighborhood of Santos Dumont distributing food boxes, cutting hair and offering chiropractic help. The response was phenomenal. One of the judges in town asked to visit with us. He invited us to help him fulfill a vision he has to deliver people from the hopelessness of poverty and joblessness.

Wrong and Dumb
2007 was a year I devoted to sin. I get some strange looks when I tell people that. "Yeah, whatever" they say. "So you devoted 2007 to sin and now you want us to believe that you are closer to God than before?"
