Disturb us, Lord, whenwe are too pleased with ourselves.When our dreams have come truebecause we dreamed too little.When we arrived safelybecause we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, whenwith the abundance of things we possesswe have lost our thirstfor the waters of life.Having fallen in love with life,we have ceased to dream of […]

I’m freshly back from the Youth Leaders Retreat this past weekend. One of the marks of our ministry that I love is that we take our student ministry leaders away for a planning/prepping weekend every August. It’s a little hectic for me, because I’ve only been back from Africa for three weeks. […]
Sorry I haven’t been posting too much lately. If you come here with anticipation for new posts, sorry. But, trust me, there is definitely some cool stuff happening under the covers. Hope to tell you more about some of that soon.
In the meantime, I am a firm believer in getting reference checks. […]

Our church services this morning heard about all of the summer mission teams that went out from GCC this summer. It was a lot of fun. All in all, GCC had seven teams this summer, five of them were student teams.
This morning’s service included a video highlighting some people from each of the […]
I can hardly believe it - but next school year is looming in our faces already. Regarding SPACE, it means that I’m late to the party in terms of thinking about next year. Because summer doesn’t mean a break for SPACE people - in fact it means more work than through the year […]

Alright, I’m not quite taking a break. If you haven’t noticed, I’m doing a lot on blogger, just back dating. It is a huge deal for me to write up posts regarding the recent trip. Huge but very good for me, I process well when I write. Very theraputic for me. […]

We are home. It’s great. The trip was an amazing experience and it’s going to take me a while to process throught it.In the meantime, I’m taking a blog and SPACE break. I’ll be working through the trip via posts on the blog that will be back-dated. But other than that, no […]
Well, writing those posts was quite an experience, but I know it was worth it and that’s why I plugged on. It meant writing a lot, reading my journal a whole lot and looking at over 1300 pictures. If you read all of these posts, let me know, I owe you a gift […]
We landed in Paris early this morning. A good flight out of Cameroon, mostly ontime. Our bags also made it here with us - 12 people with 23 bags. Amazing. Our hotel is great, we arrive via the airport shuttle around 10am and our 3 rooms are ready. The weather […]
Hard to believe that our time here in Cameroon is coming to an end. It has seemed like both forever and just yesterday since we arrived. This morning is spent doing some more souvenir shopping in the market area. Part of our team also splits off to tour a local medical clinic. […]
This morning is a light one with not much responsibility for us. All of our team meets with our hosts at a local vocational/tech school for a quick tour and for G to meet the principal and introduce us to him. Our visit serves for G to follow up on a potential lead […]
Dear SPACE friends,
I’m writing this from Yaounde, Cameroon, Africa, where we are in day 7 of a 10 day mission experience. The sights, sounds and smells of Cameroon are mostly what you expect of Africa – dusty roads, lots of people, roadside stands and a lot of taxis in this city of 1.5 million […]
Hi parents,
Sorry for the lack of updates. The team is doing great – there are some slight stomach issues and L got a small dog bite by the N’s dog. L did talk to her mom, and we are treating accordingly. Good thing they both got all their shots.
The team has […]
Our team has spent a restful night in their host homes. I think all of us feel that slight sense of home away from home since we came back from camp. We all meet at the Nens in the morning and have a great time for our team. Team time includes talking […]
Most of you know I’m kind of nosy. I like to refer to it as inquisitive - call it what you will. So imagine what a time I had living at the Nens and getting to ask them questions of all manners at the most random times during our trip. Listed below […]
We close and depart camp early this afternoon. It’s been a really fun time and the Cameroonian kids seem to think so too, by their request for pictures with us, getting our email info and having us sign these Frisbees we brought from the States. Frisbees were a new thing for them here. […]
Today is our last full day of camp as we leave for Yaounde tomorrow afternoon. We’ve told our team repeatedly to not squander our time here and to continue pouring into their new friends as much as they can. They are doing a great job of just that. This morning, EllyK and […]
