A good night's rest, a great bkft, and even a Starbucks (only one we'll probably see in our travels :) and we were ready to go for a full day making our way to Skopje, Macedonia.
Plenty of time to get more acquainted with our team on the two-hour drive to Philippi and then a five-hour drive to Skopje. I love our team... great conversation and some hearty laughter, which is pretty much guaranteed with our teammates Peter and Jim. We have gelled well and each of us have come with a desire to catch the vision for Eastern Europe. Today also gave us a chance to get to know J & R's hearts and vision for their work here in Macedonia. Tomorrow we will spend the whole day here connecting in various ways.
One of the highlights of the day was walking through the ruins of Philippi. At one point our team member, Peter, stopped all of us to share how he felt such a sense of significance for Dennis and I as we walked among the ruins. We were walking in the very place where the Church was first born in Europe as told in Acts 16:11-40. What a special moment when our team laid hands on us to pray and commit for our new role in Europe. God continues to confirm in so many ways this decision.
Thanks for your prayers! Pictures tomorrow!

Hey, thanks for the updates! Can't wait to see pictures.
Hey! I just remembered that you would be posting on your blog! Thanks for the updates. I'll be checking now daily. Tears came to my eyes with your last paragraph. Very cool to see your heart already for that area and to feel confirmed in where God is leading you. Evee's been talking about you guys daily since we talked on skype the night before you left (saying both grandma and papa :)). Love and miss you!
What a Blessing that confirmation was. Can't wait to hear more. Wish we were there with you.
