Going with Power Tools!

Right now I'm looking forward to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I've been outwest since July 2008 and will begin my trip home to Ohio November 14, 2008. The West has been very good to me--but it will be great to put my feet on buckeye soil--I kind of miss home!

My hope is to be released to return by the end of November 2008 and I know while I'm here stateside many are working hard so that we can continue to move forward with "Reach the Nation 09". Our first evangelistic event s scheduled March 2009. Kids Quest Interntional, Steve & Mindy will be joining us to train our national leadership team to hit the cities, villages, towns and schools with the Gospel of Jesus. This will be the first time in history for the entire evangelical church to have such a dynamic and powerful tools in their own lanugage to reach the children.

4 Wheelin & Dealin

Well who can pass up going 4 wheel driving while you are sitting at the base of the southern mountains in Utah. I'm still traveling and sharing in several churches driving from one city to the next and one day last week I took a break from raising the funds for ministry and tried to put on an adventurers hat. Boy, it was an adventure! One that I will never forget and would love to repeat. Sitting out on a mountain top when a thunderstorm breaks out even adds more adventure--I wish I could have taken more photos of the storm but I didn't want to ruin my camera and I needed to book it out of lightening range. My personal tour guide had some problems of her own. Her family dogs decided they wanted to go on tour with us too and then got tired on the way up so.....Bonnie had to turn her 4 wheel machine into a pup-mobile. We had a blast and I honestly enjoyed being so close to Gods' creation.

Eyes View

Traveling throughout the West I have been overwhelmed with driving from the Rockies thru the Panhandle of Nebraska up thru the Blackhills capturing not only God's nature and creation but much, much more. I have been captivated by our nations portraits which were designed by our creator--the views have ushered in a fresh sense of worship. The view has been magnificant. The people I have met have been truly uplifting and kind; my spirit has been lifted. In all of this I long to be back in Lithuania. Please pray for this nation! The souls, the lives and my dear friends who sit at the western gate of Russia. Pray for deliverance from their oppression, for their beauty to shine and for cofidence in God.

The Pony Express

I'm one week into my Wild Wild West tour, last friday I left Waren, Ohio and so far I have traveled over 3406 miles and visiting 7 Pastors serving the corn husker state of Nebraska. Little did I know how HOT it gets here; and how much corn these folks grow. Sunday services went well and I am hoping for a good report and a new partnership. The folks in Kimball definetly have some of the best cooks for an afternoon potluck; I was privlege to stay in their newly renovated ministry house. During the afternoon, I spent some time with their CE Director working thru some of fresh ideas for their chidren's ministry. Then it was back towards the east for several meet & greets along highway 80. Wednesday evening, I was back in central Nebraska and honestly found the folks very warm and open.

Tukish Delight-July 1, 2008

I just returned from our Eurasian Conference that was held in Turkey for our region. I had the priviledge of hosting and servinga great team from Highway Tab, in youngstown. Their "motis operandi" was Team Eurasia 2008 and they went with an intentional goal that was effective and intentional in the lives of our MK's. Every day in the morning the MK's learned a "Big Idea", in the afternon they experienced Big Ideas, thru a day camp experience and in the evening all involved experienced a Spiritual Journey that "alienated" all with the vibes of "Pone" and "Sku" our visiting aliens who set the pace for connecting to the world they live.
