Partners...

For those of you who are new to 'the Grind', I'd like to share with you about our ministry. My family and I are missionaries on the Northcoast of Ohio. I'm the Collegiate Pastor at Tiffin University, and Pastor for The River Church in Tiffin, Ohio. Since we are MSC (Mission Service Corp) Missionaries, we are responsible for raising our own financial support. We are very thankful to have three churches that support us: Grace Baptist Church in Tiffin, Ohio; First Baptist Church in Sheffield Lake, Ohio; and First Baptist Church in Woodville, Ohio. However, we are in need of additional financial support. I would humbly ask that you...your family...your church, give serious prayer about becoming a regular financial partner. Maybe you also know someone who is looking for a ministry to make a year-end contribution to. If so, please share our ministry with them. All donations/contributions are tax deductible for your convience.

On my side bar, I keep this small article at the very top of the bar.

If you would like to financially support our family and our Campus Ministry, CLICK HERE to make your donations online. Your support will allow us to dedicate our time to vocational ministry and to echo the statement made by the Old Testament prophet Nehemiah, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down.” (Neh. 6:3) God Bless you as you pray and seek His will. Thank you for your support and friendship for our work.

If God so leads you, please follow the link above to make all your contributions. Here, you can also set up an account to make monthly contributions. Thank you so much for considering our ministry.

CCCCCold.....

Wow! I seriously can't remember ever being in a place that was this cold! The temperature is 7 degrees...that's our high for the day. But here's the ugly part...we have a -15 degree wind chill! The winds here are over 40mph! I'm also watching small bullets made of ice fly through the air at ridiculous speeds! We've had a major ice storm this past week, so all of our trees...and everything else...is ice-coated. But the winds here today are so strong that when the winds blow the trees, they break the ice off the trees and then the ice becomes miniture missiles! It's dangerous just trying to get from the house to the van...crazy!

Good thing I made a killer batch of chili last night...won't see me outside...

YES!!!

I only hoped it would happen...and now it's reality...Bring on May 1st, 2009...

Quick Update From The 'Coast...

Sorry to be so brief, but here's a quick rundown from the 'coast from this past week!

Right now, it's 22 degrees with a wind chill of 11! Yep, I said 11! It's STUPID cold! Thank God for warm fireplaces an electric heaters! We've got about 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground now. Last night, we were on the campus, when this crazy blizzard smacked us good! Thankfully, it only lasted most of the night. It's snowed off and on all day!

Pretty calm at work, though the people we see are always sick...so goes the life at a pharmacy!

We're getting ready for Thanksgiving Break...a MUCH needed few days off! Denise and I bought our turkey last week!

H2O sent 10 boxes to Operation Christmas Child this past week! I'm super proud of our students! Got lots of more incredible info coming from the campus, but it'll be in about another week...stay tuned!

Tab's new vocal group, Wildfire, performed last night on campus at a benefit concert...man were they good. They perform at the TU Christmas Concert around the first of December, can't wait for that. I'll soon be posting specifically about Wildfire, hopefully over the Thanksgiving holidays...including pictures...you REALLY want to see those!

Mrs. Denise and I are still trying to get over this crazy flu/cold/whatever-this-is! It has dragged on for weeks. I had to even go the the doctor last week...yuck!

Ok, I think that's it in a nutshell...have a great weekend...if you're in the north...STAY WARM!

Fools...
