In which we say, Nü - Ark, not Nü - Wərk

I love the east coast! 

So glad for the opportunity to visit Pastor Alan and Tricia Baker in Newark, Delaware last weekend.

We felt quite at home at Parkview Assembly of God; a truly "multi-cultural blend of people that love the Lord and fellowship together as a family."

Saturday evening we enjoyed the wonderful World Cafe; an intimate gathering to converse with the beautiful people of Parkview Assembly.

Sunday morning, I preached the first service and Stuart brought it home during the second service.

Later we grabbed some Philly Cheese Steaks at Tony Luke's in Philadelphia with Ben and Jessi Bock (Student Ministries) and Alan and Tricia Baker (Lead pastor).

Afterward, we decided to get a group shot with Alan and Tricia. 

Amazing how the Liberty Bell photo-bombed us at just the right moment.

For those who may not know the history: 

Way back in 1990, when Stuart and I graduated from Southeastern University, we traveled to Fort Wayne, Indiana for our first official ministry opportunity with Alan and Tricia Baker. After serving as the pastoral intern at Evangel Christian Center, Alan hired Stuart as one of his associate pastors. Likewise, Rick and Angela Forker also joined the team. Later we would all become missionaries: Alan and Tricia, Belgium; Rick and Angela, first to Germany and now in Italy; Stuart and I, first in Jamaica and now in Mexico City.
