Hey y'all! Its been a while since I have written but I'm back. Since my last blog i have been so blessed to see God to awesome things in my life and in the lives of many around me.
We had two encredible weekends of Teen Winter Retreat at NBBI. Honestly, in all my years as a retreater, student, youth leader and now on staff, I can say that they were my favorite. Exhausting, YES...challenging, Oh Yah! But it was so worth it. Marc Hall, the director for Word Of Life bermuda was our guest speaker and man did he ever connect with the teens in an awesome way. Both weekends were very different but he managed to reach them in a very powerful way. Teens gave there lives to Christ during both retreats, that is why we have Teen retreats. We have a ton of fun, sing a bunch of songs, eat a bunch food, but we as a staff plan these retreats and the students take hours and hours getting ready just for the oppertunity to see souls saved. Thats why we're here isn't it?
My wife is still pregnant, praise the Lord. Its beena rough road so far but its still so exciting to think that I'm gonna be a father to twins.
I am now in San Antonio Texas for a missions trip. I first came here as a senior student at NBBI in 2004. I had such an encredible experience here that Spring break that I have been coming every year since. This is my sixth Spring Camp here in Texas and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I look forward to coming here from the very day I leave to head back home. I believe there is a special place in God's heart for the people here. So many teens are hurting and broken but so many are changed with the Gospel every year. It is truly a blessing to to able to be a part of this. As long as God allows me to, and as long as the peolpe here want me to, I will keep on coming. The peoples are awesome, the culture is awesome and to top it all off, when your from Canada like I am, coming in March breaks up the winter just perfectly.
I hope to be able to write a little bit more at the end of this week just to fill you in on what god has been doing.

God bless!
