The team arrived safely last night and after being welcomed by some folks from the church, made it to our hotel for some much needed rest. Please pray for quick acclimation - most folks are feeling some affects of mild altitude sickness.Tomorrow morning we travel several hours by bus to Caranavi where we will be serving 86 orphans. We will be there for 3 days before returning to La Paz on Tuesday. Our route both days will most likely include what is termed by some as the world’s most dangerous road. (You can punch that in on youtube to see some clips - WARNING - I don’t recommend doing this till after you hear of our safe return if you have family members on the trip!!! For everyone else, it will provide ample motivation to pray for our safety!)This morning the team had a wonderful time marveling at the privilege of enjoying God and serving him with joy. May that be our testimony during our entire trip!

What do you get when you mix 130 ladies, two hours, worship, testimonies, small group fellowship, gift giveaways, and food? You get KingsWay’s By Design Summer Study!
This year, the ladies studied the amazing depth and richness of the grace found in the Christian life, benefiting from the Transforming Grace materials written by Jerry Bridges. The heart of this study may be summarized well by this statement taken from his book:
“Because we do not comprehend the superabundance of God’s grace and generosity, we ask Him for paltry blessings, the fifty-cent variety, when we could be drawing on the abundance of His riches”.
What a way to spend some of the summer - learning more about “drawing on the abundance of His riches”!
One of the highlights for us was hearing from different ladies about how they were experiencing God in their study of grace. Last summer, the value of reading Christian biographies was highlighted. Through John Piper’s teaching, we were encouraged in this, that we may “see Jesus with eyes more full of wonder than our own.” This summer, as we heard ladies share of how God has been at work in their lives, we experienced this through their testimonies. We were given the opportunity to see the beauty of Jesus through their eyes.
It’s hard to believe our study together is already over. God was kind to bless us with another summer of amazing truths from His Word, times of worship, and great fellowship

Colleen and I 
had the privilege of attending the Sovereign Grace Ministries Pastors College graduation this past Sunday evening. In the decade since my own graduation we have been able to make the trip to Gaithersburg, MD for the ceremony more years than not.
Each year we attend I experience a flood of memories and a fresh gratefulness to God for what we received there - and what the current crop of graduates has been blessed to be a part of. We’ve celebrated with several friends from KingsWay and other regional churches over the years.
As far as schools go, it’s a unique experience: nearly 40 classes, weekly fellowship groups, care groups, research papers, Greek, and a lot of relationship building - all within the context of Covenant Life Church, and all jammed into one very packed year.
This year was a special celebration for our family in particular as my younger brother Adam took his place among the graduating class. After interning several years at CrossWay Church in Charlotte, they sent him to the PC last fall. He and his family will be moving to Fredericksburg to serve alongside the Delages, for which I couldn’t be more thrilled.
