Another Opportunity for Ministry
Because of our involvement with the Seattle Police Dept Chaplaincy Program we have more opportunities for ministry. We are now working with a program called GOTS-Get Off the Streets. They have been wanting a faith based organization to work with them. But because of liberal churches in the Capitol Hill area, none of the churches want to work with the police dept.
So they are thrilled to have our organization to provide the spiritual side of things. We have already been asked to preach at an event on Father's Day through another organization that has contact with the police dept.
When we went into a tavern with one of the officer's I was asked why I don't start preaching in the bar. I told the guy he better not encourage me or I meant start coming to preach. He said if I did he would get people off the street to come into the bar. Who knows what might happen.

At the edge of a blessing
About the time it looks like things are getting better financially, it seems like all hell comes at us. At the time it seems like there is a breakthrough in our ministry, all hell comes at us. At the time Carmi and I are getting really close, all hell comes at us.
Anyone ever felt that way? I am sure there are others. What do you do at those times?

Carmi and I
Carmi and I are doing very well in our relationship with each other. God continues to mold and shape us. Like any couple we have our hard times, but we really do have fun as a couple and God knew what He was doing when he put us together.
Ministry can be so draining at times mentally, emotionally, and financially. At times we would like to just move out in the woods in Oregon and hide from people. But we are smart enough to know that we would not be happy. It is in our blood (it is our calling) to be ministers of the Gospel. I guess we are 'addicted' to touching lives.

Update-The Hill for Jesus
We have been very busy lately. We have some individuals that Carmi and I are mentoring that are requiring much of our time, but they are growing in Christ. Lately they have been making some great changes (but with their past, it takes many great changes). The great news is that they are staying sober and starting to work on some deep rooted issues.
