June Update

As many of you are aware the month of June was spent in Canada reconnecting with friends, partners and sharing with many people the heart we have for the people of Europe and how God is using us to see His love shared throughout this great continent. We had a an excellent trip and a great time catching up and spending time with the many people in Canada we love so dearly.

Some of the ministry highlights of our trip back home were:

  • Being able to speak in six different church setting, in five different cities about what we are doing with NLI in Europe.
  • Being able to preach on four different occasion and seeing a number of new believers come to faith in Jesus and many other believers allowing Holy Spirit to come and heal and empower them, enabling them to be instruments of Jesus to the world they find themselves in.
  • Having an opportunity to meet with new contacts and share what God is doing in Europe and how they can get involved.

Some of our personal highlights of our trip back home were:

  • Being able to be a part of my Dad's retirement and sharing in honoring him for all the many years(36) of hard work and life, he put into his teaching and investing in the generations of youth.
  • Being a part of Kevin and Kristin's Wedding. It was a great time and a great day of celebration.
  • Being able to spend some time with and see our wonderful friends.
  • Being able to spend time with family and especially for Caleb to have them as a part of his life.


Even though our main purposes for coming back to Canada were to be there for a few significant personal events and to establish partnerships that will enable to continue doing the work God has called us to do here in Europe. It is awesome to know that when you live a surrendered life and are obedient to the things God calls you to do, He is able to do work everything together for our good and allow us to be used in mighty ways to see His love change hearts and lives along the way. This trip was just that for us.

So thank you to so many of you for making this trip so memorable and special. It is always a great pleasure to spend time to together and allow our hearts to be reunited.

Thank you for partnering with us in both finances and prayer. We highly value the role that plays in enabling and releasing us to do the work God has called us to and allows you to share in the eternal fruits of our labour here in Europe.
