The journey begins

          So today marks the beginning of our four week trip from Blacksburg to Santa Barbara, CA. It is such a blessing that sweet Courtney will join us part of the way, up until STL. And then from there on out it is me and the crazy germans, which will be awesome.

         I am so excited to get to travel to all these new places, and most of all to see the beauty of God`s creation all around America. I hope and pray that it ignites me to praise and to worship the God of creation that made all things to reveal his glory, that we may know him.

        If you are reading this please pray for us. Pray that God surrounds us with his protection and guidance as we travel and camp and site-see. Pray that the wonder of creation would lead us to stand in awe of God and who he is. Pray that the hearts of Christoph and Claus would be softened to hear the Gospel and understand it. Pray the Spirit will ignite them to know God and understand the Truth of the Gospel.
