My Kids on Mission! (Prayer request from Pastor Kris)

Hello TTW! Pastor Kris here, and I would like to introduce you to my kids. I have three amazing children, thanks to God, and thanks to my incredibly amazing wife, Andrea. Two of our kids are spending most of the summer on the other side of the world from us, serving God on two different mission fields. I'm so excited. We've been taking our kids with us on mission since they were infants - but it's a whole new thing to send them off to the opposite end of the planet for several weeks apart from us. So for those of you who know us, I sure would appreciate your prayers!

Here's a quick intro to each of my kids and the missions they're up to this summer:

This is Daisy. The very first kid I ever had. She's not really a kid any more, as she's almost 21, but she has an amazing heart for kids, and she just pours out God's love on them in children's ministry week after week, serving at multiple churches. She's also a musician and pretty much all around amazing. Right now she's in Romania, serving at a camp for orphans this summer. She's been part of this mission trip since she was two, and she's gone the last three years without he family, joining the team from Refuge. She's awesome.

Daisy loves coffee almost as much as her mom.

 Oh, and the other guy in the photos is her boyfriend Noah. He's pretty great too. He's part of the TTW team, and he and his family are also on the Romania mission with Daisy. Please pray for the team and for the many kids they have brought to camp.

We were all in Budapest together before missions started.

This is Kaleb. My one and only son. He'll be a senior in high school this fall, and he's spending the whole summer with a team in Budapest as part of a program called "A Vision for Life."  It's basically like a bunch of missions all strung together, plus lots of Bible study, team building, and time to seek God for His plan for your life. So awesome. Please pray for Kaleb and the whole team!

Kaleb worked for months to save up for his trip.

This is Shiloh. The very last kid I ever had. All my kids are funny, but Shiloh may well be the silliest of the bunch. She's got an amazing wit, and even more amazing smile, and she's pretty much the best baby sitter in town. After the five of us went out to Europe to drop off the teams for missions, we came back with just Shiloh - so she gets to play only child for the summer. Thanks for praying for my family. I love my kids!

This was on the road to Corinth - following the footsteps of Paul.

This kid cracks me up.

Here's a few more pics from our trip to drop them off for mission.  I had a conference in Athens with Bible societies and Bible app ministries from around the world - it was called the Digital Bible Library Summit. Amazing people and amazing work God is doing!  Thanks again for praying!

This is Mars Hill - where Paul preached to the philosophers in Athens! My crowd was a little smaller than his.

The view from the top of the Acropolis. So awesome.

Gyros in Greece. Hello delicious.

Gotta thank Ryanair for making travel in Europe so amazingly cheap!
