We are long overdue for a new blog entry!

Hmmmmm…where to start……well, we’re 36 weeks pregnant! Baby girl #2 will be here soon! We’re so excited and trying to tie up some loose ends before she arrives and changes our world.

We’ve been building a relationship with an organization called Generate Hope (http://www.generatehope.org/) that walks beside girls who’ve been rescued out of sexual trafficking here in San Diego. On Monday night we had a couple over for dinner who serves with the organization. The wife is in the process of raising some financial support so that she can serve the rescue home as well as the treatment center full time. Please pray for her. I (Christiana) am looking forward to coming alongside her and empowering her as she serves in this capacity.

I’m going to start joining the residents of Crash Inc. (http://www.crashinc.org/), a recovery home for women, on their morning walks around our neighborhood. It’ll be a couple mornings a week and for me, will only be for a few weeks till the baby comes but I’m looking forward to getting to know these girls better. My sister-in-law, Rebecca, and I went to the home a couple days ago to meet the staff and the 40 residents. We received a warm welcome from everyone and have been “approved” to begin building relationships there starting with the morning walks.

Derek, our friend Colin and I are doing live music for a trunk show for local hand made artists in our neighborhood this Saturday. Anyone is welcome to come if you’re in the area.

Thats it for now. More to come….
