Richmond, VA

Caleb and I actually had a strange time in Richmond. When we got to the city, it was empty. Nothing was stirring until the afternoon so we took a tour of the Holocaust Museum. If you haven't been to one of the Holocaust museums, it's a must. The atrocities committed against the Jews were horrific and we must learn from history. I left feeling inspired to live my life to the fullest in honor of those who lost theirs prematurely. Once we were CrossWalking we split up in order to cover more of the city. I met two men about my age and the one guy asked, "So why are you carrying that cross?" His friend exclaimed, "Oh, duh, I thought it was a 'tee' ...a cross; now it makes sense." Little kids have asked me why I was carrying a wooden "X" before, but I was taken back that this guy thought I was dressed in a robe, carrying a "T." I was left speechless for a minute; but then continued to proclaim the Gospel to the first guy. Looking back

Petersburg, VA (When God Blesses You)

After walking in Baltimore one last time, we all felt  peace and closure about leaving Maryland and heading onto Virginia. And with the transition came a new excitement for all of us. God is so good. And he most definitely directs our paths! Upon our arrival into Virginia, doors immediately opened for Caleb and I to speak at West End Christian school the very next day. Thanks to Ms Kim (music teacher and spiritual mother) we were able to share our journey and testimony with some 45-60 middle school students. Thank you Lord for the chance to sow/share your love with young and open hearts. Everything following this time of ministry was indescribable as we were all blessed and refreshed by God himself. Evie: Previous to Petersburg, VA, I couldn't help the feeling of exhaustion and loneliness. Don't get me wrong, I have come to truly love and embrace my husband's way of ministering to the world; but on this particular trip, it seemed as if the weight of the world were on my

Baltimore, Maryland

Just had an AWESOME day CrossWalking Baltimore. I feel like it was the perfect conclusion to our time in Maryland. After fighting through such spiritual warfare, I'm happy that we were able to finish strong . Caleb and I drove downtown and parked by the inner harbor. With our crosses we began to walk away from the city center. I asked a taxi driver where the worst part of the city was and he directed our path. See, the days before we CrossWalked the Inner Harbor, we had a great time of witnessing but it was mostly to tourists. Here are two pics from then: Today, we wanted to witness far from the tourists and wow, it was SUCH a fruitful day of ministry! It was also a tough day of ministry as we walked through the projects and down streets where every other house was condemned or broken into by squatters. The poverty we saw went hand in hand with Baltimores spiritual condition as the atmosphere was heavy and felt muddled. On one occasion, Caleb was walking toward a gang on

Spiritual Warfare, Baltimore

I call it as I see it and I believe we're experiencing some serious spiritual warfare. Caleb and I have been sick for days, the RV is broken down, and this morning we found the crosses knocked over -- one of them upside-down. Yvelisse and Yvonne have been doing well with things but we've had some cold nights and "tanks" are low. The good thing about struggling through the night is that Joy comes in the Morning! Hallelujah!!

I had SO much I wanted to write as soon as Caleb and I finished CrossWalking today but when I got back to the camper I was exhausted with a killer headache. It's after 2am here in Bel Air, MD and I just posted this testimony on facebook: Sound asleep in the camper... I wake up at midnight... WIDE AWAKE. Think to myself, "I should pray and go back to sleep." Then God says, "Go into Walmart." I say, "...hmm, must not be God. It's cold outside, middle of the night, not going." God says, "Go." I get in there and right away see a family (young mom and dad and toddler daughter) grocery shopping. I was drawn to them...wondered why they were out so late. Walked around the store, they were playing Turbo on the big screens so I got distracted. I picked up a pack of socks, said a couple "God bless you's" to people (but I knew I was missing something). I got to the check out at the same time as the family I saw earlie

Veteran's Day Message at Coventry Christian School

Image
November 11th I had an awesome time giving the message at the chapel of Coventry Christian School. Those students were so well behaved and the school was so courteous. I was even blessed to read my book to a first grade class. SUCH A GREAT TIME! Thanks Nichole Tucker for orchestrating the day! November 12th, CrossWalk Ministry held a board meeting and I was affirmed as President of the non-profit. Not a big deal but since we were incorporated as a non-profit, any donations to the CrossWalk Ministry are now tax-deductible! November 13th we packed the RV and Caleb and I are now in the process of CrossWalking to South Carolina for Thanksgiving. Afterwards Yvelisse, Yvonne and I will be heading to Florida. My birthday is on the 26th of November and Yvonne's first birthday is December 19th so we'll have a lot to celebrate on this trip!
