Some very interesting news out of Poland, this has been years in the making, but the quickness in light of the Georgia fiasco is interesting. Check it out: U.S. and Poland Set Missile Deal – NYTimes.com. This could make for a fairly interesting future for Alexis and I, I can’t help but to think about[…]
We know why we’re called to Poland, and we know God has not brought us this far just to turn back and say no. There is much work that has started and is incomplete, our brothers and sisters, our friends, await us to connect in Christ. To bring a message that is not laced with[…]
Hi Everyone, Due to the small number of people able to attend our fund raiser this Friday, we have decided to refocus our resources into (hopefully) a more productive campaign. The event we had planned for this Friday is canceled. Stay tuned for the next couple of days while we re-work a new fund[…]
Well we have made the deposit on our airfare, we need $4,755 more and we’ll have it all paid off! That’s better than the $8,125 we needed just two weeks ago! We are so thankful to God. We need the remaining balance by September 15th… so we are praying, and seeking God’s will, on finding the rest. If we[…]

As everyone is aware airline prices have been skyrocketing, and this has affected our budget for our trip in October to Poland. We have always had a contingency built into our budget, but now we are in need of increasing that. Right now our trip has increased from $1,500 a person to $1,800 and each[…]
Our passions that we would like to bring to the younger generation revolve around small group ministry. We have been using John and Sonja Decker’s book “Holy Spirit Empowered Small Groups” in our own home group, and have seen amazing results with our group going and growing deeper in ways that un-hide our shame and[…]
Looks like Poland doesn’t have a shortage of furniture, at least we know we’ll have plenty to choose from. Poland is third largest furniture exporter in Europe Warsaw, Poland July 21, 2008 Poland is the third largest furniture exporter in the EU, after Germany and Italy. Last year, Poland exported more than EUR 4.4 bln[…]
We have some friends who are leaving today, they are moving to Redmond, OR – their the same friends who had their baby boy just 10 hours before Emma arrived. God has opened some amazing doors up for them, a new house, work, etc. Gets me thinking about the final farewell we’ll have someday, although[…]
I’m sitting in a Starbucks here in Gresham, had devotion time with Marcus. In the few hours I’ve been here I’ve overheard at least four different conversations around me… all people discussing ministry, mostly people in worship/music ministry. So I began thinking, wow, here I am in one of the most “unchurched” states in the[…]
Sometimes I let the “jadedness” of the church, my generation, and the world get into my thoughts, and I can be pretty critical and unable to enjoy worship services. But, when my heart is in the right place, I am overwhelmed by God’s glory. I can not help but to worship him with abandonment. Tonight[…]

Not sure if anyone is poking around on this yet or not. However, I would consider this site/blog nearly ready for public launching, just a few more little tweaks (okay probably a lot, but the functionality is here now).
As you can tell, there is much to do around here. This blog will be for Alexis and I to write our thoughts, ideas, upcoming events, current events, etc… all about our Poland missions. Stay tuned for more information. For now you can visit Travis’ blog. Thanks!
