A Look at Latvia

Here is the slideshow that I put together to show our supporters in the Monterey Bay area what we have been up to since May 2007.

Interview with Brenten

Earlier this month, I visited Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe for speakers week. I had the opportunity to share with the students about Latvia and invited them to pray about coming on a mission trip to help. While I was there, I sat down for a video interview with Mike Pritchard for the podcast of CCBCE.com. Another video interview, I conducted in Riga during our evangelism. You can view that here:
