Ravi Zacharias, the Bishop, and Faith

Yep, that's us with Ravi Zacharias! Friday evening was our seminary's "Friends of Evangelical Banquet," and the guest speaker was internationally renown apologist, author and teacher Ravi Zacharias. Just as he was getting ready to leave with our president, Dr. Hollinger, our friend Tomo (the Japanese fellow above with his wife Jessica) stopped them and graciously asked for a quick photo! So, long story short, I'm never going to wash my jacket again because Ravi touched it...well, maybe I won't go that far. For more on Ravi's ministry, check out http://www.rzim.org/.
Also at the banquet was our church's bishop, Rev. Mike Sigman (above), and we had the opportunity to catch up with him a bit. As we were talking about the busyness of life, we realized that our fall speaking schedule is busier than the bishop's! That's not official, but he was surprised when he saw how full our schedule is. We're halfway through, so please pray for stamina and periods of rest!

We joined Faith E.C. Church in the village of Bair (near York, PA) for worship today, and they were so kind in receiving us, allowing us to lead worship, and inviting us to share our Spain presentation during the sermon time. A classmate of mine, Mike Campbell, is the assistant pastor there, so it was great to catch up after the worship service and during lunch. We are quite grateful for the way they welcomed and encouraged us today, and we look forward to partnering with them as we prepare to serve in Spain.
