From Christian Report June 2007: Because of the efforts of Chaplain (Major General) Hicks and LTC Crawford, the 2d MI BN Commander, resources were made available to provide a quality marriage retreat. We were able to take 25 families to beautiful southern Germany for a weekend conference. We stayed at the Edelweiss resort in the midst of the Bavarian Alps. The weather was just right for our trip. My supervisor, CH (MAJ) Scott Weichl, spoke the first night using the resources available through Family Wellness Associates. Their mission is to "To teach, encourage and support couples, individuals, families and those who work with them to promote healthy relationships. We teach practical skills based on proven principles that strengthen, uphold and empower individuals, couples and families." The next day, I led a Palm Sunday service. I spoke on PREP (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program) which included the Speaker-Listener technique. We spent the afternoon at Neuschwanstein Castle (the "Disney Castle") and finished PREP that night. The final day, we watched a DVD by Dr. Gary Chapman, the author of "The Five Love Languages. I'm thankful to Christ and the US Army for allowing us this opportunity to learn from one another. "To date, more than 30,000 Army couples have benefited from the program ¡V and more than 90 percent rate the program positively." Go on one of these if you can!

See www.helpafghanistan.net and www.pencilsforpeace.org for more information if you'd like to help us. We're doing this throughout E. Afghanistan. We in America are truly blessed!

My stuff is on the way to Germany, I've moved out of my house into a hotel room on post, and I'm almost done clearing. I'm looking forward to the Christmas Eve service at New Life Church. It's their first service in their new 8500 seat sanctuary. It's amazing what God has done through Ted Haggard the last 20 years, after he started in the basement of his home. He is the president of the National Assocation of Evangelicals (NAE), who endorse me to be an Army chaplain. I'm still ordained with the Association of Vineyard Churches (AVC). It's hard to compete with New Life, which is like a Vineyard Fri - Sun nites, which is when I've been going. I led a weekly lunch small group for them this year on post.

I'll go to the midnight Christmas Eve service at Wellshire Presbyterian (USA) in Denver, where I grew up, to see some friends. I'll have Christmas lunch with family, then head back to the Springs, since I preach on Sunday. I fly to Germany on the 2nd. I think I'll be able to stay there awhile, so I'll try to visit some religious landmarks. I may go to an NAE conference in Austria over the Martin Luther King holiday. My bosses are also open to me returning to Colombus, OH the 1st week in May for the AVC conference (which happens every 2 years).

I'll be the first chaplain the 2d Military Intelligence (an oxymoron, I know! :)) Battalion in Darmstadt will have, so it'll be a learning process for both of us. I'll probably live on post, and I'll be buying a newer vehicle there, since my 91 Explorer won't pass the rust inspection for shipping. Please pray God's will be done with all of this, as well as for those deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. My new contact info is below. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Summer 2004:
-----------------

I had Nate Rees' "Nameless" band play for our Organizational Day. I'm supposed to move to Germany for 3 years in January (probably with a deployment sometime). Pray God's Spirit moves amongst us!

Since I joined the 52nd Engineers the last couple of months, I co-led a Building Strong and Ready Families marriage retreat for 20 couples and their kids. I also did a Prayer Breakfast (where I co-led music) and 100 people showed up. I move to Germany in January, so please keep me in your prayers as I transition.
