A trip to Colombia and a vacation with friends at the beach all culminated in Andrew’s ordination last Sunday. Family and friends from all over gathered in Western North Carolina to celebrate God’s faithfulness at the ordination service. Without overwhelming you with the ins and outs of Presbyterian church government, here are a few shots of the service:

My Dad giving me the ordination vows - very special moment

One of the coolest parts of the ordination service is the laying on of hands by the elders

Fox had a blast at the service. Okay, not really...

A few of our dear friends at the reception

A trip to Waynesville wouldn't be complete without a walk downtown with my buddy, Kyle.

Laura Kate and Fox rockin' the Daniel Boone look. Classic.

Thank you for your prayers, especially regarding the ordination process. We are so excited to be one step closer to serving the church in Latin America. We’ll be focusing on building our support team over the next few months and would appreciate your prayers as we share with folks our passion for the next generation.
