As you all know Sarah and I are living in Louisville, KY and are taking classes at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. We are having a great time and enjoying this season of our lives. Our desire is to head back overseas at the end of next summer and we are taking every opportunity we can now to grow and learn. Many people think we are crazy but we are taking all the same classes- Intro. to Missiology, Systematic Theology I, Spiritual Disciplines, and Hermeneutics. So far it’s been great. We have been able to study together and hold each other accountable. We have thoroughly enjoyed being challenged both in our thinking about God and how we apply that in our lives. Southern is a great conservative school that unapologetically teaches the Word of God.
Several weeks ago a pastor from Birmingham, AL came up to Southern for three days to speak in chapel. It was a life changing experience. The pastor’s name was David Platt and he spoke the Word with both power and humility- a unique combination among speakers. I encourage you to click on this link and download a few of his sermons. You will be very thankful you did. David Platt sermons
Other than these things we have been traveling some- Washington DC, Jackson, TN, and in two weeks Michigan. Also, we are praying and searching hard for a home church. Please pray that God will provide a church to be our family. You really don’t realize the importance of a church family until you don’t have one.

We are praying for you. Thank you for the update. This weekend we will be in Kentucky on our way to a meeting in WV.

I agree! David Platt is amazing. I heard him speak at Glorieta last year and it was incredible! I’m glad you all are doing well. I head back to Asia next week. I look forward to seeing you all on that side of the world in the not so distant future!
