Sharing Christ's Love with International Students in North Texas
One of the things we lead our Discovery Bible study is the question, “What is stressing you out? and what are you thankful for?” It is a proto prayer for our non-believers and a prompt for prayer for our believers. Well this is a week where there are a few things stressing me out. I’m …
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me, our team and our family. At TCU we had family weekend where parents of freshmen come on out to visit. We had a special tailgate party for the international students who did not have parents come all the way out. The following week, I had …
Today was a special day for Jonathan, C-6 and myself. We were able to do something a little different and I think we all came away with a smile. Andrea, a member of our church small group, has been a part of the ministry of Mission Arlington for many years, since she was 19. In …

The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of preparing for school, both with international students but also with OUR new students (J-12, & C5 are going to new schools & T-8 is going to 3rd grade). It has been incredibly fun to meet new students at the various different campuses. This year I …
Our oldest son, J-11 turned 12 in August. We all celebrated with a trip to the fun center and a party with his best friend Jacob. He also completed his first class rank for scouts at his Court of Honor and we featured in his summer camp video. Good job son!
On Thursday I had the special privilege of taking my son T-8 to watch the Forth Worth Minor League team, the Cats for scouts night. We had general admission tickets and at first, I thought that was a bummer. I was wrong. We had a blast and because we had general admission, we had freedom …
