Today was the most frustrating day. I was moved to a new jobsite so that Anne Marie and I could work together. Well, that didn’t work out since everyone went onto the roof and I only lasted for 5 minutes there before I was so terrified I [...]

This week has been about getting to know people and about building relationships. Everyone works so hard and has a great attitude. Trudy Fehr has been amazing as our crew leader – not because she has a commanding presence, but because she works harder than anyone and [...]

The idea of “unspectacular work” has been my metaphorical matrix for the week. We are in New Orleans, but we’re not partying in the city. In fact, we have seen very little of the city other than the neighborhoods that we’re working in. And this is the [...]

Another day of hard work, but for some reason we got to a lot of conversation today… about church, Jesus, relationships, and church planting. I think we might have planted two new churches today. More details to follow.

One of my favorite things so far is being in close proximity to some older members of our congregation.

New Orleans 2009
Well we made it here; we’re in New Orleans ready to get to work with MDS (Mennonite Disaster Services).
It was quite a trip: left at 11:00pm, spent over an hour at the Sarnia border, stayed up all night, flew out of Detroit at 6:00am, landed in Houston and hopped onto another plane to [...]
