I'm baaaack!
After a several month hiatus, I am officially back on the blogosphere. I'm thankful for the encouragement of the ministry team from Inter-City Baptist in Allen Park, MI, (and Bill Golden in particular) to keep this page updated.
Honestly, it's hard to believe that I haven't updated the blog since the New Year. This semester has been busier than normal. Spring is always busy, but this one...wow!
In February we celebrated the 5th annual Harvest Rally. With over 3000 in attendance and somewhere between 150-200 professions of faith, we were excited to see the Lord's blessings. Pray for plans that are being made that will greatly affect the future of the Harvest Rally in Mexico.
About that same time, the Lord graciously opened doors for the rental of a house in Santa Mónica for the mission church. Until now, we have been meeting in the living room of a dear family, but we were very tight for space. This rental, while not solving the space problem totally, certainly alleviates it.
We have also had two ministry teams here. Joel Morales, a graduate of UCLA who is pursuing a masters degree at NBBC, brought a group of 7 Northland students and staff members. They were able to get some work at the house in Santa Mónica. We were able to celebrate our first mid-week Bible study while their group was here.
Last week we had a group from Allen Park, MI. Among several other projects, they were able to put a laminate roof over the front of the property in Santa Mónica that will allow the children to have their classes in the shade. We are always grateful for the blessing that God gives us hosting misnistry teams.
There are several prayer requests in the previous post. Let me add a few here.
1) Starting tomorrow AJ and I will be having a two day retreat with the theology majors. We hope that it will be a time to challenge them in their personal life and walk with God.
2) I will leave the retreat early so that I can join a group of six people going to Bob Jones University. We are exploring the possibility of starting a graduate program in Education. As we visit Bob Jones, we hope to glean some knowledge from the teachers and adminstration there.
Thank you for your prayers.

Matt,
Glad to see that you are back on line and you can be assured that we will continue to remember your prayer requests. Give the kids a hug for me.

Welcome Back! Was good to see you on campus last week. Did you know your sister-in-law is staying at my house right now? I'm enjoying getting to know her. Sweet girl. Tell Susan Hi.
