Working in Denver – September

We spent time down town Denver helping the homeless. In each city we visit we make up lunch kits and care packages that we give to the beautiful men and women who have come on hard times and ended up homeless. So many stories.

Notre Dame – Go Irish :)!

We were ministering in South Bend and got the chance to visit the university and see all the special places that meant so much to my dad back when he was 20. It was in the Notre Dame football stadium, looking out at touch down Jesus, where he gave his life to the lord, and here we are 40 years later! Very special.
