Blessings in disguise?

Well, we're not walking to DC. The levelers / jacks on the RV aren't functioning so we have to take it into the shop next week. We tried to use the fridge without it being level and it didn't work as well... hope we didn't make it worse. So they'll check out the refrigerator also. This gives us time for the parts needed for towing our car to arrive. Lord willing, everything will come together just before the September 11th "100 crosses" event in DC.

Carrying the cross at home

This past week we've been spending a great amount of time fixing up our home. Evie and I are excited to see how God will use our home for ministry whether it's couples counseling, small groups, or a home-church. We give it up to God, but meanwhile it's been ALOT of work... our house was built in 1905 and any small repair becomes a great endeavor. Also, our friend Caleb has been living with us for several months now. I feel that the Lord is helping us both grow as men; in Cymbrogi we say, "boys become men in the presence of other men." and Caleb and I try to sharpen each other "as iron sharpens iron." In addition, this past week another young man named Kyle has moved in with us. I'll have to keep you posted as the story progresses :)

One Hundred Crosses

On Sunday I was blessed to share a message on "Carry your Cross" at a small church in Green Lane, PA. When I returned home I saw a notification about an event invite on my Facebook. The event is titled One Hundred Crosses: https://www.facebook.com/OneHundredCrosses Lord willing, we will be in Washington DC on September 11th! Please keep us covered in prayer.

Reading, PA

I have not been doing well with blogging. Apologies! Last week Evie and I were invited to Tri-County Bible Church. We had such a great time talking with the kids and then all of the children walked around the church following the cross! It was such a good time. We sang "hallelujah" and walked through the main sanctuary during service (which surprised the pastor). Then during the week I drove into Reading, PA and carried the cross around the city. The ministry was so great and many lives were touched. I wish I could share some specific stories but I don't have much time right now. The first person I spoke to however, I met before I even got to Reading. I was driving with the cross sticking out of my trunk and a woman named Nancy drove up next to me and yelled to ask me to pull over. She told me That she saw me crosswalking last week and hasn't stopped telling people about it. How cool!   More to come! May you be blessed!

Rt. 23 West

I was tempted to skip crosswalking today because I'm a little sore from yesterday. I decided however to walk a half-day instead. As soon as I got out of the campsite the first person that stopped to talk was the last person that stopped to talk last night. I found that her name is Patty and that she's the wife of the camp owner. I told Evie last night that I wanted to speak with Patty more because the last thing she said to me was, “it doesn't matter what god you believe in, as long as you have faith.” Thank God I was able to speak and pray with her this morning. Walking along State Route 23, two women named Jennifer and Alice stopped they were on the way to work and wanted to hear my testimony. They were both believers and we were able to encourage one another. After they pulled away and I began walking again, I passed a piece of paper blowing in the wind. I really felt God lead me to pick it up so I backed up and grabbed it. It had a woman named Sylvia's ema

Walking Rt. 23 in Warwick, PA (8/6/13)

The first week out with our RV!! Yesterday I walked rt. 23 from Warwick Woods to Rt. 100 and back. It was the first time walking with this cross and in the first couple steps I could tell it was going to be a tough crosswalk. As I began walking I saw lots of dead and dried up worms on the road and later saw a dead bat. I thought to myself that this was going to be a rough day... But thank God I was wrong :) It turned out to be a great day of ministry! I was stopped by a man named John who was driving a church van. He said that a group from his church goes on a retreat every summer and he's going to meet with them. He encouraged me and told me that he'd share my testimony with them. As I was speaking with him a woman named Felicity joined us. Felicity was overjoyed and encouraged by the message of the Cross but after a few moments she said that she had to leave; that she was late to pick up her son. When she left I prayed with John and began walking a
