As Megan and I look over our 'to do' list, it would be easy to be overwhelmed by the number and significance of the items enumerated: Organizing camps in June and July; ICCP values review; Administrative council meeting; Team restructuring; Leadership development process; Preparing for CONNECT and furlough; Researching French schooling options for Livi and Lexi; Investing in many significant relationships; Finance & cashflow both for ICCP and for our family; Couples, men's and children's ministries; Ongoing cultural acquisition; Supporter contact; Fund raising; ICCP marketing; Strategic partnerships, etc are just a few of the many items which we are working on.

What we should be overwhelmed by, of course, is gratitude. Gratitude to the One who graciously invites us to be part of His work of redeeming the World and bringing life and hope, where there would otherwise only be death and despair.
 
As you look through some of our recent pictures, please join with us in the duplicity of praising God for the energizing fullness of life that these tasks bring to us and at the same time asking God to give us the energy to do these tasks. And pray that as a result, the needy peoples of France will be filled with new life too.
