West Kirk Presbyterian Church

This is our family with Sasha and Jonah Mudlaff

This past week Greg and I had the privilege to work side by side with a group from Iowa. Greg's good friend from Seminary, Michael Mudlaff is the pastor at West Kirk Pres. His wife, Sasha, and one of their four sons, Jonah, joined 9 others from their church to come serve in Monterrey this week. God blessed them with such great days of working hard, playing with the kids, hiking with them at a local park, throwing a birthday party, serving lunch to a poor community, buying gifts for a couple with twins and delivering food to a children's home. God is so big. He could see that all of these things are done by himself, but I love how He chooses to use us and bless us and teach us and love us in the process. I love how God does exciting things in people's lives. I love how a group can come with fears or certain expectations and leaves with deep changes in thoughts, perspectives, and a new sense of how to live outside their comfort zones. Groups inevitable leave with a deeper trust in God, a wonder in how He works things to His good and give us joy and strength in the process. West Kirk was no exception. Praise God for how He both used them and grew them. I am richer for being apart. Praise God.
