Follow me as I follow Christ

Caleb Ballinger has joined the team and desires to carry his (physical) cross for Christ. We just went to the mall today and bought the shoes he'll be walking in. I can feel a stirring...I believe something big is about to happen...

Wow, what a great season in Pennsylvania.  We were able to buy and sell some kids clothes at the largest consignment sale in the US.  Then we celebrated Junior's second birthday amongst family and friends.  And now we're packing up to head to Louisiana. What a season of favor, as we were added to the missionary board at Coventry Church of the bretheren.  We were also listed as Westmont Christian Academy's "missionaries of the month" and featured on Real Men Connect's weekly podcast. Totally humbled at how unqualified we are for this mission trip, and how our God still chooses to use us! Hallelujah!

After the Lord opened a parking space for me, I off-loaded the first cross and immediately a young man named Adam approached me and asked about it. I explained that I carry the cross to open conversations about God, witnessing to unbelievers and encouraging fellow Christians. He told me that he believed in “a god” but not necessarily Jesus. He allowed me to pray with him and we had a really positive conversation.  Adam told me about the “conch drop” similar to the “ball drop” in New York. I was really excited about it. The crowd was huge, streets were blocked off, and police were mounted on horseback. It reminded me of doing ministry on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. We parted ways and I carried the cross to mile marker zero, where I felt led to plant it. I immediately found a spot by a large tree and was surprised at
