TN, GA, SC, NC, TN

So the last two weeks have included a lot of in the car trips. Since I was driving I got to throw my bike in the back so even though I did alot of driving, I did some a couple of fun rides as well.

Morgan and I headed out to Chattanooga for a World Changers project and enjoyed some time together along with visiting some great ministry sites. I host Ben Trueblood and Eric Geiger for some of the sites and really enjoyed spending time with them. Both of those guys are great guys who got to see students in action helping others. It was alot of fun.

Over the weekend, our family met up in Rome, Ga for Shelbi's 23rd birthday and we had a great weekend. I got a nice bike ride in over to Berry College and Winshape, we ate cake, Mark and I played a little golf and we attended church together on Sunday. It was such a blessing for all of us to be together!

On Sunday, I headed towards the mountains of North Georgia to meet with a great church and help their staff work through some clarifying strategy for ministry. These guys were great and took care of me. It is so much fun to interact with the whole staff, heart their hearts and then help facilitate mission and actions that they will take.

After meeting with them I started towards South Georgia to another of our World Changers projects.It was great to spend time with them and to visit the ministry sites that we were working on. To say that this summer and seeing so much ministry going on in different cities has been exciting would be a gross understatement. God is doing such an incredible work through students willing to give of their time, talent and treasure to make a difference in others' lives. I also got a pretty fun bike ride in over to Saint Simon's Island and ate some of the best shrimp I have ever had a little dive in Darien, GA called B&Js Steak and Seafood. Awesome fresh shrimp!

After GA I headed to Ridgecrest, NC and facilitated the student Sunday School training for Extreme Sunday School Event. Some of the best student leaders were there and I had blast facilitating a teaching/learning process. It was pretty intense schedule wise but was great fun.

Today I find myself back in TN, but not quite home yet. I am at a World Changers project in Loudon Co. and will be home soon. Excited to see what God has in store here through these projects and then excited about getting home to Sondra.
