After arriving in Portland Oregon last month we have had a great time seeing our families and visiting with many dear brothers and sisters in Christ. We have been able to enjoy many family events, BBQ's, hikes, hunting adventures and general fun while here with many loved-ones. It has been wonderful to catch up with our families!

There have also been many opportunities to preach in several different churches like Eastgate Bible Chapel, Grace Bible in Battleground and at the Red Bench retreat near Spokane Washington. Last Friday I even had the opportunity to teach a missions class at Moody Bible Institute to about 70 prospective missionaries. It was a tremendous chance to inspire and encourage missions to a group of young people with high hopes of being useful to the Master in the task of making Christ's name great among the nations.
