It's been a while!

You know I have been meaning to blog, but sometimes I am un able to write my thoughts I really do much better at talking what is on my mind.  But now it has been past winter and spring into the summer, even the last blog was my wife putting a blog on mine.  Well like narnia, some how I arrived into this strange land, a land not always flowing with milk and honey but what can you do?  When you have milk make a milk shake.  Cristi and I are preparing for Italy it's only 10-11 months away now and support raising isn't going all to well, but I am hopeful in Him who asked the question who will go for us.  My reply is here I am send me!  There is a older woman in Genoa who has been praying for over three years for God to send Americans over not just to Genoa where some friends of us are at, but to Torino too; where Cristi and I our kids and the rest of the our team.....How awsome is that, she has been like the man from Macedonia in the dream of Paul the apostle, come over here and help us?  Like that this woman has cried out to God for us to come and help her too.  This greatly effects me for it was a little over three years ago that we began to hear the calling more attentively, and not just us but some friends of ours too.  They are now there in Genoa the first city she had been praying for, and now she has been spending time on Sundays in Torino attending a church there.  Three years ago she had a vision and saw Americans coming to help.  It blows me away that God still moves in these ways, that dreams and visions are for today, there is faithful people in every country praying to our great God for Him to change their and our world by his Holy Spirit.
