High and Mighty allMen's Retreat Whales
Our Bunkhouse
Whew, I know, it's about time that we have added a new post to our blog, we thank you guys who follow our family and ministry through this medium. It has been an interesting and challenging time that we haven't had the Internet, and the saga continues. It will be another 2 weeks before we are back "online". Though our Internet usage has come to a stand still, ministry hasn't, we continue full speed with a mid week study and other prayer meetings.
Also this past weekend I was allotted the opportunity to go and speak at the High and Mighty Men's Retreat in Whales. It was an amazing time out with 11 other guys in the mountains in central Whales. The scenery was breathtaking as we walked and swam and jumped off waterfalls on a river gorge, then ended it with a hike up one of Whales highest peaks.
WE also spent much time worshiping and studying the Bible, looking unto men like David and Daniel, to glean from their lives of what it means to be a "man of God" in the 21s century. There was much time of prayer and waiting on the Lord to bring breakthrough in many different areas of many different lives. We all left spiritually refreshed and physically worn out after the physical activities.
All in all we all had a wonderful time seeking the Lord together, please continue to pray for Devon, the Lord is doing a great work here in the midst of rampant secularism, be encouraged.

Charis 1st Birthday
Happy Birthday Charis! On the 10th Charis turned the big 1, we are so blessed by her and she has been so much fun. We are so blessed that the Lord has entrusted us with Charis, to raise her and lead her to Jesus.
She also is getting her top front teeth in, please pray for her that she would grow to love and serve Jesus.
Our New House

Whew! We have finally made it into the new house, well new for us. We are so blessed to finally have a place to call our own, once again. It has been an arduous task but we are getting settled. The Lord has been good to us in bringing us into this place. There has been a lot done and there is still much to do in getting unpacked. We have been assembling furniture and picking things from different places here in Exeter and North Devon.
Mike and Sofia, friends from Sweden arrived the night we moved in and have been a tremendous blessing in the settling process. They are moving to London where Mike will go to school to be an audio engineer. Sandra has been busy setting up her kitchen, I have been setting up the kids rooms and office area.
Please! Pray for us here in Exeter, the Lord is doing a great work in us. He is aligning things for us as we walk according to His ways. We still have very limited internet access, we have to walk to the library in town, our phone line is not yet activated, I am still searching for the best deal to obtain an internet provider. We will be back online soon, thank for all your prayers and support.

D.L. Moody
D. L. Moody
In a conversation with another man, this other man named Varley remarked, "Moody, the world has yet to see what God will do with a man fully consecrated to Him." Moody responded, "Well by the Holy Spirit in me I'll be that man."
The Lord has been challenging me personally in areas of complete surrender, am I? are we? at a place that we can honestly say that we are His, every aspect of our lives, belonging to Him. Spurgeon once said, "If you desire Jesus to be a perpetual guest in your heart, then you must give Him the key to every cupboard and closet." If we as believers would live like "believers" we could in our own spheres of influence see the world changed for Jesus, for eternity.
Surrender all that you are today, and live for Jesus tomorrow. It's our reasonable service.
