Welcome - Bienvenue!

Thursday, December 2, 2004 was the day we first arrived on French soil to begin our journey living & serving in another culture.  Seven years have come and gone since then.  The children, then 15 years, 12 years, and 8 years have grown up enjoying the blessings of living in another land & culture.  John and I have grown older too!  We have a few more grey hairs than when we first arrived, but we also know that we are a little wiser & spiritually deeper with our Lord - for which we are thankful.

This blog is one way in which we hope to be able to give you a view of what it is like to live in another culture – the ups & downs and the wonderful joy of discovering God’s world from another “field.”  Because our ministry here touches the lives of internationals living & working abroad, we have had the joy of not only viewing God’s world through our lens, but also being able to see God’s world through the lens’ of many different countries as we intersect with people from all over the world.  We hope to be able to clearly communicate these discoveries to you, so that you will be encouraged as you see and hear of what God’s world is like outside of the “field” where you live.

When we began our journey seven years ago, we resonated with the lines from a song written by Wayne Watson -   “We work the field of souls … Together you and I”.  Today we still believe more than ever in these words.  God has placed each of us in various “fields” around the world, in order share & live out His Good News to those around us.  Today we invite you to come along with us, to spend a “day in the fields” with us and see what God is doing & has done here in France & around His world!
