Sick

Well, I have strep throat again. :( This is the third time I've had it in the past 12 months. Is that even normal??? How do I avoid getting it?

Viesīte English Camp

A truly amazing camp! I hope to have time this week to write down more of my thoughts and stories of what God did in camp. But in the meantime, this slideshow will have to do...

YouTube of the Month: June

I recently visited the Latvian occupation museum with some friends who were visiting us. Though I have been many times, the museum was a sobering reminder of the many tragedies this part of the world has experienced. Our generation tends to take freedom for granted and this video is another healthy reminder of the sacrifices people have made to maintain the freedoms we take for granted today.

The RĪGA Internship (ending)

The picture below signifies the end of the first round of The RĪGA Internship. :(
(from left to right: Kurts, Beāte, Krista, Krišjānis, Liene & Baiba)

I'm proud of each of these guys for following through on their commitment to follow Jesus! We met 19 times over the past four months to study and practice obeying Jesus' call to make disciples where He has placed us. I made mistakes, learned a ton, was encouraged by each person in the group and look forward to how God will continue to use them to glorify Himself! Each "graduate" received a Rīga Shirt, a certificate of completion, a framed picture of our group and a graduation hat! My hope is that these things will act as reminders of what God did over our time together and our call to continue following Jesus and making disciples. Soli Deo gloria!
