Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

Kevin: Sorry we haven't updated the blog in a while. We have been consumed with life recently. Our time last weekend in Ohio was amazing. We were able to speak in our church for 20 minutes, and God gave us words to share the vision He has given us. People were moved. We received so much encouragement and affirmation from the congregation. What is more, many people told us that they wanted to support the ministry financially. What a blessing!

Now we're really looking forward to coming home this winter to spend time with the church. We felt a really call to commit some time before we leave for Germany to serve our sending church. Kathi hasn't been an active member for 8 years, and I've only been to the church a few times. So, we feel like we should invest some time in this congregation in return for all of the blessings they have given us.

Currently, we're back in Illinois struggling through difficulties here. Ironically, support raising seems to be the least stressful thing in our lives right now. We've realized that Satan is not attacking our support raising directly (which is what we expected) but he's actually targeting our marriage right now.

Kathi is working some ridiculous overtime at work, which means 12 hour days and no time for us to be together. This has caused us to feel very distant from one another. It has also frustrated our desires to push forward with support raising. Please pray for us. Ask God to reduce the amount of time that Kathi has to be at work. Also pray for unity in our marriage. We desperately need a renewal in our joy and fellowship with one another.
