The blog has been resurrected and re-made. This can only mean one thing. Adventure time! Asparagus! Windmills! Sandyshores! New Friends! El Tizate! Mi Familia Guatemalteco! Coffee!
If none of those expressions seem worth getting excited about to you, then you'd better read the following paragraphs:
I am so excited to have you join me in this latest adventure. I’m spending another four months with Global Shore (www.globalshore.org), one crazy amazing organization. Here’s the brief history: A few years back some asparagus farmers in Ontario decided that God was calling them to be more than just asparagus farmers. Through some miraculous and divinely orchestrated events and relationships they started sending Canadian university students to a small town in Guatemala called El Tizate. Before too long a school in Tizate was started and the ministry of Global Shore was born.
How do I fit into all of this? Last year I joined their summer student team, a group of twelve students who work for the month of May and June in an asparagus packing barn on the sandy shores of Lake Erie, and spend July and August serving and loving the people of El Tizate. My life was changed, truly changed. Ask me about it sometime. It is quite a story.
This winter I got an e-mail asking me if I would consider co-leading the team this summer and that is what I’ll be doing! I am slightly nervous (God’s working on that) and ridiculously excited. I hope you can join us in prayer as we grow together as a community under Christ, and as we live as testimonies of God’s love for the people around us.
So follow along here where there will be pretty photos, stories, testimonies of what God is doing (cause trust me, it is going to be sweet), and maybe I'll even subject you to some of my awful poetry. How can you say no?
