Living Above Reproach
"He has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him" - Colossians 1:22"Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach..." - 1 Timothy 3:2"if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.

Prostitute Outreach - 11/20/09
This is a repost of a note about last night's outreach... so amazing! I wasn't out with them last night but I did have the privelege to eat (pizza and killer salsa!) and pray with everyone beforehand.

To all my readers... the two of you...

Write it Down!
I know I have been blogging a lot lately. Don't get TOO used to it. It's just a fluke...I sometimes complain about being in Lancaster. I guess I need to explain now why God has finally convinced me to stop the complaining and rejoice over my return ;)A few weeks ago, I met this girl, Kristin, at our college group. She has been a missionary teacher abroad for quite a few years and is now back here for a while. As we were talking, she asked what I did and I told her about the prostitute ministry and how I hoped to someday start one here in Lancaster. She looked at me weird and said she just met a lady two days before who was asking her if she knew anyone wh
