There are no words for me to describe what happened today, our God is so loving. Even though we walk through valleys, even though our closest friends face surmountable challenges, His faith in us does not waver. The favor He has shown us, our work in Poland, and us as a couple, keeps us humbled.[…]
I just read a very interesting article in The Oregonian, it seems the Portland area christian Slavic community is struggling with integration. One of the comments on the article comes from someone who moved from Portland to Kraków, he has an interesting point of view, although not from a Christian worldview, but fairly healthy. Shows that[…]
Wow, can’t believe we have just 15 days left of fundraising! Yet, we’re a long way off from being finished. Here’s where we are!
This is a very rough count, I haven’t added up all the eggs yet. But we’re around the 56 donors mark. We’re gunna need to ramp this up folks! That’s it, just a quick update, more official news coming soon!
I hope this finds you well. This is a bit longer than I know most of you will read, but I’ll throw it out there anyway, because I believe God will move on this. A while back I asked some Polish friends of ours, this question “How do you think we could effectively[…]
Hey Friends! Well the first (partial) week of our $15 challenge brought in 20 donors! How many more this week?

Emma was dedicated last night, see pictures and read more about it on Travis’ blog.
We’ve had 6 nope 10 people donate or pledge so far and it’s been basically just a day since we started this campaign. Thanks! The amazing (strange) thing is that for the most part some of our largest, and most responsive donations have come from people we don’t have much contact with… now that could be taken as,[…]
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[…]

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[…]
