Beach Day

We took some kids to the beach today, just to hang out. We had a "well" good time. We played frisbee, badmitin, soccer, telephone pictionary, etc... These kids were Danny, Ryan, Liam, Luke, and Rob. There some of the kids who come to "REBORN" youth group on friday nights. Danny and Ryan do not know the Lord so we are continuing to pray for them. It really has been so great to get to know these guys, we are excited to watch them grow in Him.

Keep them lifted up.

Flat

Please pray that The Lord will provide for us the right flat (apartment). We really want a place low in price and, most importantly, right in the town center where all the kids are.  We want our flat to be a blessing to the Lord and for Him to use it the way that He desires -- so please pray.  Thank you back home for all your love.  We continue to pray for all of you.

Friday night

Wow!!!  The Lord really is working here in Brid.  Thank you so much for your prayers!!!!  There were over twenty kids there on Friday night and we studied what the Word says about putting things in our ears that are not from God, like evil songs.  They had so many questions and thoughts and really are hungry for the truth.  There is a group of six kids who know the Lord and we daily pray that they will become more and more rooted in the truth.  These six kids are so new to the faith, but God is reveiling to them so much and they are able to answer some of there non-believing friends' questions. It is really so exciting to be a part of this and to be investing into these kids' lives.  The need for role models in their lives is so great.  We will soon have pictures of them and we ask for you to keep them in you prayers. We love y'all!

WE MADE IT!

Wow!  We made it to Bridlington!  It is so great to be here and to be staying with the pastor (Lauren) and his family (Jeanna, Audrey, Ashley, and Caedmon).  Tonight will be our first church service since arriving and it will be so nice to be with everyone.  Friday will be our first youth service so please pray that the Lord will continue to work in the kids' hearts this week so they will come to youth group ready to learn.  We need your prayers as we will be looking for a flat (apartment) in these coming weeks.  Thank you, guys, for all your prayers and support. We love you all so much!

Hearts that want to serve

The Silver Streaks group at Calvary Chapel Olympia have asked us to come and share on Dec. 18th 2008. Some of them have shown interest in supporting us.

We can't wait! Many of them are our close friends.

We thank God for this opportunity and for the love that has been shown our way thru these truly wonderful people.

PLEASE PRAY we will all be a delight to one another while talking about the youth in Bridlingtion.

We will update you after the meeting to let you know how it goes.

Here's a holiday hug!

"Same Page" Care Team :)

We had a care team meeting on Sun. the 30th of November. Brian and Marvy were missed along with Paul, our pastor at Reality, who is now coming to the meetings. Keith and Julie Robinette live in Colorado.

This care team meeting was centered around finding structure to the group and future meetings. IT WENT WELL! :) We all gave some honest input that could help eachother out.


What was accomplished:

• Delegation of jobs
• To do lists
• Brainstorming for upcoming meeting agendas
• Answered questions
  

What YOU can do:

• Building and maintaining a care team can be strenuous on all members. Please pray for unity as we all work together in serving our Lord and the youth in Bridlington.
  

We look forward to our next meeting two weeks from now.

Have a wonderful day. Until next time...

Our hearts for the youth

What an awesome opportunity we got to live among the youth kids of Bridlington this past July!

This coastal town is packed with kids who are facing crucial decisions of their lives, decisions like a belief in God or a relationship with Christ.

These kids are heavy on our hearts and in our thoughts to always be praying for and to be with.

It is so great to preach Christ through simply hangin' out and living life. God has been growing our hearts for these kids more and more and through this we have been getting absolutely stoked!

We can't wait to get back to the relationships that God has already started to build!

Our care team meetings are going very smoothly!!! Thank you for your prayers. Every other week we as a team have been getting together and preparing for what's ahead. It is so exciting to see the Lord's hand in this!

One more step forward!

Randi officially has her VISA! :) Hip hip hooray!


We are almost there. We appreciate the prayers and support.

Love you guys..

Z&R

Zach's visa was approved! YESSSSSS! Now we are waiting on Randi's.

The majority of our support letters have been sent out! Thanks to Dottie they look great.

We got our first comment. :0 Thanks Janna.

First Care Team Meeting

Randi and I met with our care team to set the foundations for our futures serving the Lord in England. What an awesome meeting. I love everyone! God is truly blessing us with true fellowship. Along side the complete love and support from our families, we want to share with you guys who is on our care team. :)
