Puppies, Jesus, and Max Lucado?

This was the first day of school 2011 - who knew what the days ahead had in store??

It has been a really crazy few weeks since our last puppy post. The puppies will be 2 weeks old on Thursday the 22nd. They are growing very big and are almost ready to open their eyes.

Here is a pic from their 1 wk b-day

WORLD MANDATE

We traveled to Waco, TX for World Mandate. We celebrated & worshiped Jesus for 3 days! Isabelle shared about her Global Orphan Project and God showed up big. It was an awesome weekend. Check out her blog for more details Arts for Orphans

At World Mandate, Isabelle was able to share her story about orphans and talk about Jesus. Again, check out her page for more details.

Jimmy Seibert, Senior Pastor Antioch Community Church with Isabelle

James Mark Gulley & Carl Gulley - 2 amazing brothers serving the Lord with passion & zeal. James Mark & another brother Stephen write alot of the worship songs for World Mandate - if you are looking for a great worship CD, check out the Antioch Community Church website to purchase one. They are always on at our house. Carl directed World Mandate and is so encouraging to Isabelle & John Michael! Thanks Gulley's for making us feel so welcome!

Jim Yost, missionary in Indonesia. This is one very special man. He followed the call of God on his life in his early 20's to Papua, New Guinea and God continues to use him in that area of the world. He ministers to problem young people in ways that I cannot begin to describe. He asked this question to us during his talk, "If your church was closed one Sunday, would your city miss you? Are you having such an impact in your city for God that the people would miss you if you closed the doors?" WOW - something to think about.

MAX LUCADO!

What a crazy deal God had in store for our kids...to meet and hang out with the creator of one of their favorite cartoon series "Hermie & Friends" If you have small children or grandchildren, this is a series you do not want to miss!

Max is a wonderfully gifted man that God is using to change the world! We are so blessed to have met him this weekend.
