Whoa, that was fast
Ok, well, the time has come. Outreach teams begin leaving this week! The quarter has flown by. It’s hard to believe that the hours and days and weeks have passed this quickly and now we are at the brink of saying goodbye to nearly 250 DTS students. They will be going to locations all over the world to share a sincere message of hope, Christ’s love for all people.

We are so honored to be working with Youth With A Mission, and to be surrounded by the people who are here in Kona in this season. We find it hard to convey exactly how we feel, but wanted to say we are so thankful and so blessed.
Here is a photo of us at
a wedding we went
to this past weekend!
It was at the same church
where we got married
just about a year ago!

I thought it would be fun to connect you to the websites of a couple of our fellow YWAMers so you can see other amazing things that God is doing!
Liam and Rachel Byrnes- Liam is Johnny’s best friend. He and his wife are here from Scotland, taking DTS, and are about to go to South Africa for three months.
Jeff and Beth Reid- This is an amazing family! And they are part of our family, which is incredible. Beth, Johnny’s sister, and her husband Jeff, along with their two sons, Elijah and Carter, have been serving on staff in YWAM for several years. (Their website should be updated soon!)
Calvin and Camille Hanson- Another married couple here, taking DTS. We love them and are so excited to see what God does through them on Outreach in scandinavia!
Andy and Holly Byrd- This is the family we live with. They are simply amazing and we have learned so much from them! Check out their site and see what they are up to.

Sweet Jenni – thanks for keeping us posted on what’s going on, even though you guys are crazy busy! I’ll be praying for you and Johnny (especially this week) as you say goodbye to the DTS Teams … and I’ll be praying for the Teams as they begin this next chapter of their journey. I appreciate you posting the links for your fellow YWAMers. I need to take some time to check them out, soon! I love you and Johnny and miss you oodles and gobs!!
