Family Pictures

Brian and I will soon get to fly from Des Moines, IA to Denver, CO and meet a special group of friends who are in ministry leadership around North America, thanks to a Peer Learning Grant from Sustaining Pastoral Excellence (SPE) a grant that pays for the expenses that an event like this takes. We met 2 1/2 years ago in Big Bear, CA and it really impacted and encouraged Brian and I.

You can read a reflection on how this group of friends formed on this article in the Calvin Seminary FORUM.

One of the preparations, along with the preparations for leaving three small children home, is gathering pictures to help tell the story of what God has been doing for the past 2 1/2 years. I enjoyed reflecting while doing this, and am excited to hear everyone's stories once we settle in our mountain cabins!

The family pictures so just how much we've grown in 2 1/2 years!
