Easter 2009

Another year, and another time the world begins to celebrate Easter.  Even though some may only think of bunnies and dyed eggs, many remember the true reason for celebration -- Jesus Christ's resurrection!  This year, I will spend another Easter away from home and family, but it is great to have my wife around.  At … Continue reading Easter 2009

Easter Egg Hunt 2009

For the last seven years, RCC has hosted a community Easter egg hunt on the day before Easter.  Last year was the first year we hosted it at the Rockingham Park Racetrack.  There were almost 1,000 people in attendance.  This year, we are hoping and praying for even more.  This is an amazing "first-touch" experience … Continue reading Easter Egg Hunt 2009

Skiing in NH

Today, Yvette and I went skiing at Gunstock Mountain.  We had a great time just hanging out together and enjoying a the slopes with only about 30 other people there (at least that's what it seemed like... I guess Mondays are slow days for skiing for obvious reasons).  This actually marked the third time we've … Continue reading Skiing in NH

March Madness 2009

Well, it's finally here -- that time when people spend more time checking scores and betting in offices than ever before.  That's right, it's the NCAA March Madness.  While I'm not involved in the betting side of things, I am involved in a couple friendly bracket challenges over on Facebook (through CBS Sports). Yes, I … Continue reading March Madness 2009

What a Day!

I've had a great last few weeks of ministry here at RCC!  Today was especially exciting.  After a great day of skiing yesterday with the middle school students, I got up a bit slower this morning.  However, it was totally worth it. Today, at RCC, I was privileged to baptize 3 teenage boys who have … Continue reading What a Day!

New England the Least Religious in the USA

Why am I here in New Hampshire?  Why have I moved far away from my family?  Why have I left old friends 2,000 miles away?  Why do I place my trust and faith in an "unseen" God?  Why do I continue to submit my life to Him and follow His calling to work in the … Continue reading New England the Least Religious in the USA

Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

I had a GREAT time this past weekend at the "Deep Freeze" retreat at Camp Berea with the students.  Expect more info soon.  Sunday morning, they showed this video of U2 singing the "classic" song "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" with some special guests.  We all thought it was quite funny.  I found it on … Continue reading Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

To My Financial Supporters

The following is a letter I sent out to my financial supporters on January 26, 2009, informing them that their commitment time is up. Dear Friends and Family, I first want to thank you so much for your continued support of the ministry in New England.  Your prayers, finances, and kind words mean so much.  … Continue reading To My Financial Supporters

The Bridge Weekend Update 2-15-2009

I'm so proud of my students!  I'm also really excited about our new programs here at RCC.  We just split the middle school and high school up into two separate groups today called "The Path" and "The Bridge" respectively.  Two of our high school students have been collaborating on a video series we've called The … Continue reading The Bridge Weekend Update 2-15-2009

The Economy and Me

Over the past year, as our economy has been going "downhill," I've often asked myself, "What does this have to do with me?"  As I sit here listening to our new President, Barak Obama, speak to Elkhart, IN, and the entire country about his plan for the economy, I can't help but ask myself this … Continue reading The Economy and Me
