Following Jesus is here!

Today we received the first printed copy of the new JYC manual - Following Jesus. The rest are on their way to Ireland and the USA to be used in the new school year. On such an occasion as this Brent couldn't pass up a photo opportunity. Do we look relieved or what? :)
Thanks to David Crutchley (co-writing), Brent (design), Marek (illustrations), Sarah and Lizanne (proofing) and Bogdan (overseeing printing).

Visit from mum and dad...

It was great to have mum and dad visit us recently. The boys especially enjoyed it and it was a special time for us all. Just before they left I caught tonsillitis and was off sick for the past week. Today I preached in our church in Germany and the Lord really helped. Afterwards we had lunch outside the church - it was another beautiful day. Tonight after a cycle in the vineyards I cooled off in the pool.
Tomorrow I am back at my office in Kilchzimmer and getting ready for the Black Forest teen camp I will help to lead, beginning this weekend.

A quick trip to USA... well actually it was a German theme park :-)
