BEYOND THE BORDERS: We went to Congress!

http://gandcborders.blogspot.com/2015/05/we-went-to-congress.html

Sunday, May 17, 2015. We went to Congress! Much of this past week was spent in the northern part of France, 10 minutes from the Belgium border as Glenn and I attended Le Congrès de la FEEBF, or the Federation of Evangelical Baptist Churches of France as we would say in English. Basically, the French Baptist Convention. There were some other folks with our organization at the meeting, along with the pastor from our local church and a woman from the congregation. Oh, how I enjoyed that! And the other from ...

Kathy Davis: November 2011

http://kathyblessedtobless.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Blessed to bless, rescued to rescue . pleading the cause of the orphan. Sunday, November 20, 2011. I recently returned from a Home-based Care. Training in Ethiopia where 14 churches and over 80 attendees were represented. It was a deeply impacting week together. Churches were equipped, hearts were encouraged, and once again, I was undone by the generoisty of impoverished men and women who are already caring for orphans and widows in their communities. What would I have to offer? World Orphans has provide...

BEYOND THE BORDERS: June 2015

Sunday, June 21, 2015. Shopping for a wedding dress! This week I did something I haven't done in over 10 years, and that is to go wedding dress shopping! My friend, Amanda (that I wrote about May 24th) and I went shopping for her wedding dress. It was so much fun! Amanda described what she was looking for in a bridal dress, so I kept my eyes open for one that she might like, and I found one on the way to my French class. Wow! The other big thing that happened this week was receiving a gift from Amanda's ...

BEYOND THE BORDERS: September 2014

http://gandcborders.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 14, 2014. It's been a while . Since I last updated 6 weeks ago, I've been to 6 countries and had 3 wonderful weeks in Budapest. The photo above was taken in Kosovo, the last stop on our most recent 12 day trip. Let me start though with our first trip! When we were planning out our summer schedule, Glenn suggested we add on a short trip to Poland with a meeting in Germany so that I could shop for that wonderful blue pottery that I love so much! This large bottle of water is found in the ...

BEYOND THE BORDERS: May 2015

http://gandcborders.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 24, 2015. This has been a busy week, like they all seem to be, but this one was special because I got to visit with a friend of mine from America who now lives in Paris, not too far from me. I met Amanda when she was a student at the Christian school where I worked before coming overseas. We have a long history and a strong friendship that goes way back. She is marrying a French guy that she met in America, and so we will be able to see each other often! How cool is that! Just down from our a...

Thursday, June 19, 2014. A little bit of everything . Glenn and I have recently been to Romania to visit with one of our new families. We've never been to Timisoara before but will definitely look forward to our next trip there! Besides enjoying the couple living there, it is a beautiful city! There were flowers everywhere! They took us to a rose garden in the city center that was close to it's peak of perfection! Glenn and I came across these corn strips. This is the first time I've seen corn chips - ot...

BEYOND THE BORDERS: October 2014

http://gandcborders.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Where does the time go? I can tell it's been 3 weeks since I took these pictures only by looking back at my calendar but it sure doesn't seem like it has been that long ago. No telling how long it's been since my previous update. :-(. It's a very good and caring question to ask. THESE friends are the ones who provide member care to us and we love them. :-). Germany is a beautiful country. So clean, crisp and organized. Even their streams are neatly landscaped! From Germany, we ...
