Happy 7th Birthday Eric!
Today is my son's 7th birthday. I do not feel old enough to have a seven year old child. He is such a blessing. Seven fun years of t-ball and football games, watching him learn how to read and do math, going to Orioles games, going camping, now going all over the world. Today we will go to his choice of restaurant, go spend some of his birthday money, and watch Star Wars (his first time). Usually we would take him to Famous Dave's, for the passed few birthdays he had requested ribs for this birthday dinner treat, no equivalent of Famous Dave's here, but we will find something he likes.
I am the richest man in the world.

    Dave, I saw Jimmy's post. It was easy for me because the Sun blog I set up already gave me my log on info.
    Our kids and family's are our greatest earthly treasures and we (both) are truly blessed to have such great ones.
    Hope that Eric had a great one!
    I realized last night, that as we were doing the e-cards, that Eric's B-day had already started there. Sometimes the time difference is easy to grasp, sometimes not.

    Take care, be blessed, and be a blessing,
    Steve

    In just over seven years, I will be throwing my son's seventh birthday party, also. I look forward to doing many of the things that you mentioned, except it will be Cardinals games, of course!

    Glad to hear that Eric had a good birthday.

    Your Shekinah Brother,
    Dan F.

    Brother Dave,
    Hard to believe Eric is the big 7...I see he has the "McNabb" jersey on in your missions page photo. Won't be long before he's wearing a jersey of his own out on the playing field somewhere. May God's blessings be on him and the entire family, hope you enjoyed the day.

Can You Change the World from a Desk?

A common refrain heard on cop shows and action movies, "I don't want to be stuck behind a desk, I want to be on the street where the action is!" Can you change the world from a desk? In a single day I (Dave) had meetings "in" the Philippines, Nepal, the Ukraine, Poland, Guyana, AND the United States, all while sitting at my desk. In February we were promoted as the Vice Presidents of Equipp...

Empowering the Next Generation

A big step in becoming a missionary with Go To Nations is the Timothy Internship Program . This is a 10 week boot camp that prepares you for full time missionary service in a foreign country. I call it a missionary factory. Chris and I were directors of this internship in the Philippines, Thailand, and the US. Recently I traveled to the Philippines to equip and empower Jeff Weimert  and Ryan Hull  to be the directors of the ...

Departing

Leaping off the Leadership Development post, I have some somewhat sad news. Chris and the kids will be leaving for the States this Saturday. They leave for Manila on Friday, and then fly onward to the States on Saturday, arriving in Baltimore around midnight (Maryland time) Saturday evening. Why is this sad? My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...
