Almost finished in Mexico

// September 3rd, 2009 // Comments Off // Uncategorized

Things are quickly wrapping up here at the goteam workshops in Ensenada Mexico. We had a blast teaching at the workshops and really saw an incredible response to the teachings.
We are leaving Mexico tomorrow morning early to return to San Diego and LA for a series of meetings and fly out from LAX on Saturday afternoon.
During our time here in Mexico, We were able to build a custom website for the Workshop. For information on the goteam workshops and to view the site go to:

Our time on the west coast has been great so far.  The GoTeam conferences start this week and we have been hard at work preparing as we are going to be teaching how to use media as a connectivity tool in the mission-based World.  We are super excited about the week and its agenda.  We have been working on developing the conference as a web-based resource.

Feel free to check it out. Keep your eye out for Pictures, updates and tweets as the conference goes on.

new beginnings

Summer is ending and autumn is approaching.  The change to warm colors and cool weather excites me.  There are few situations where I don’t enjoy change.  I’m constantly seeking something new to learn, new to see, or  something new to experience.  And this is exactly where Echolite is as an organization.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen some vast changes in our organization.  We are finally officially launching ourselves full-time into the media world.  Up until now we’ve only been a trip by trip ministry, but with the time spent out of the country since the turn of the new year we knew there was no other option but to pursue this full-time.  After spending over two months in East Africa this summer we arrived back in the states anxious about the future.  There have been so many unknowns over the past few weeks that it’s almost comical.  Where do we work?  Where are we going?  What projects do we finish first?  When are we eating food?  Where are we sleeping tonight?  With all these questions, we are trusting that the lessons being learned in patience and trust are building a foundation for our future.  We find ourselves daily wishing for the perfect housing solution or the ideal media project to just fall in our laps.  But we’ve come to learn that it just doesn’t happen that way and if we try to come up with our own solutions without trusting the one who is sovereignly making this thing work, then we will surely fail.  We understand the concept of waiting on the Lord but the daily practice isn’t so simple.  So I guess all we can do is look at the hour ahead and give up trying to make ourselves comfortable.

The Ice Storm of the Century.

// January 29th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Uncategorized

Well we have been back here in Fayetteville for a couple weeks now and things are a bit colder than they were in Africa.  We are nearly finished with Africa stuff and probably would have been finished had the icestorm of the century not come through.  We(all of the fayetteville and the echolite house) are without power and have been for more than 2 days.  Trees are everywhere and the city looks like Godzilla stopped by and forgot his manners.  We are making the best of the situation and have taken several days off because, well, we cant do anything.  Here are some of the shots:

At Home.

We have all arrived home.  We are back safely inside the United States.  I wanted to say thanks to everybody for your continued prayer for us. I greatly appreciate all of the support that we received and just want to take a second to say thanks! We are incredibly blessed to have people like you who love us.

Keep your eyes open to the blog even though we are back at home for Echolite updates and exciting news stories from our side of things.  

-Much love,

Bobby
