We will be visiting churches in Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama during February and March. We will be going to St. Louis the weekend of April 9th. This includes a visit to my presbytery.

I hope to be able to start the data collection for my dissertation in March or April. This will be done in Guadalajara, Mexico. Pray that soon I'll be able to get all the paper work done to get this data collection approved by George Washington University. Once I get the papers in it takes several weeks for the approval process.

Phyllis lost her nursing job around Christmas time, and this week started on a new job. This job is case managing in the Emergency Room of the same hospital, something she hasn't done before. So pray for her adjustment.

Micah will be going to India with the Madrigal Singers of Covenant College during Spring Break. Pray that he'll be able to get his visa without difficulty, that the trip will be a blessing to the singers as well as to the people they visit.

You can download some pictures of the Madrigal Dinner at the following site.

I also have some articles that may be of interest to you, including an article on the meaning of the incarnation, the nature of a "grace-based organization," contextualization, training and others. Feel free to download them.
