Thank you for praying for us during this Cor Deo reunion weekend! It’s been a really special time. We had a big crowd of people at our house on Friday night and then a great day on Saturday, with meetings, fellowship and meals together. The participants spent time sharing with each other, studying God’s Word and doing some study of Jonathan Edwards’ writings on the Holy Spirit. The Lord even worked it out that George Verwer (founder of OM) was able to come and speak to the group for awhile. I spent quite a bit of the day taking care of little ones (with help from my girls) but got to enjoy some sweet fellowship too. These times are a tremendous encouragement to Peter and me, as we get to hear from people how their time with Cor Deo has made a difference in their lives and ministries. We thank God for how He is working the lives of these brothers and sisters in Christ. It feels so encouraging to know that what we are giving our lives to is making a difference.Continue Reading He Giveth More Grace

Reunion Weekend
We would appreciate prayer for this coming weekend. We are expecting a wonderful time with former Cor Deo participants (from the full-time programme from the past two years) plus the current team members and their families. Please pray for safe travels for everyone, encouraging times of fellowship and building one another up in Christ. It will be really special to see these people who are really in our hearts. Peter is preaching on Sunday so he is trying to prepare for that, plus finish his notes for the European Leadership Forum (which will take place in May but the notes deadline is now!). Please pray for strength for him and focus and that he would be able to preach and encourage others this weekend out of a heart full with the love of Christ. The children and I have had a cold/flu virus and I am still feeling pretty wiped out so pray for stamina for me as we host people in our home this weekend and seek to serve and bless our friends.Continue Reading Reunion Weekend
It’s Great to be Eight!
Our sweet Mariah is eight years old! We had a lovely celebration with Grandpa and Grandma Mead and we took her horse-back riding for her special outing. Here are some photos from her birthday festivities. And the post wouldn’t be complete without a few Kaylah photos. She’s growing and changing so fast . . .… Continue Reading It’s Great to be Eight!
