St. John's

1/18/10  Hello from the India team!
(Here is our "Top Five" List of what has been going on throughout our India trip!)
 
1. We have been lifted up on eagles wings with all of the flying that we've done. Our first flight was over 7,000 miles! Our second flight only lasted about 3 hours and boy were we tired! The third flight a number of things could have gone wrong but GOD WAS GOOD! We safely landed. Thank you for all the prayers, we have many more miles to go, but God had brought us safely through Nagercoil and and up to Kodaikanal.

The morning was beautiful. After two days of rain and cold damp dreariness the sun was a welcome gift from God; which was quickly forgotten in the craziness of the morning. Emily was scheduled to work the last two nights at the hospital and this fact, along with my full schedule usually means a hectic, sometimes frantic pace to life. 

St. John's has a group currently in the El Paso/Juarez area.  More specifically, we have one in the Ysleta Mission area of El Paso and a group in Anapra (the old Juarez city dump).  I'll post updates as they come in.  Please pray for the group and those they are serving.

July 10 Update

There have been some great discussions going on at St. John’s about this summer’s sermon series on the Gospel of Mark. Last week, one of these great discussions made me realize that the Gospel of Mark has a specific focus. After reflecting upon it I think this focus deserves some attention on our website, thus the title for this blog. “Cross Eyed”.  I think this is a helpful way to highlight the focus of the Gospel.
