Wow… it’s been a while since i posted anything…
frankly, so much has been happening i don’t know where to begin.

Growth seems to be the theme for the past months…

The kids are growing soooo fast. I’m just learning to enjoy every moment of it… treasuring every stage of their growth and development. Truth is, once we miss it, we’ll never be able to re-capture it again.

The ministry is growing too… We’ve almost doubled in size! Now we have 11 staff in ForeRunner. 5 of which are STINTers (people who have chosen to give a year of their lives to serve God). As one of my co-workers described.. God must have something extraordinary in store for ForeRunner.

Personal growth, in faith and character has always been part of God’s agenda for our lives. And this continues to be true for Lil and me. We’re humbled by God’s never-ending love for us, his grace and mercy in allowing us to makes mistakes in parenting, in leadership, and in life.

We do seek your prayers in these areas…

• for us fix our eyes on Jesus, to keep our focus on Him always.
• that we would not ‘squeeze’ him out of our lives, but instead to allow Him to work in our lives.
• for love and care as we reflect God to our kids, so that they may accurately reflect Christ to the world
• for godly wisdom as I (Simon) lead the ministry, for joy in serving the Lord
• for wisdom as I (Lillian) coordinate Praise & Worship for women’s conference in Feb ’06
