A Great Church in Germany

If you ever find yourself in Datteln, Germany. you must attend Wendepunkt!!! Stefan Arhelger is the head pastor and a dear friend of mine. Years ago he was trading Japanese futures contracts in the stockmarket in Frankfurt and God called him to go to seminary. Stefan went to Spain on an internship with TEAM international. This is where we met. We were teammates. Together we went through the villages of southern Spain preaching the gospel with a man called Leif Erickson. yeah, seriously. That was his real name. It was an amazing summer and one that radically changed my life. Over the years Stefan and I managed to get back together in Spain, Germany, Prague, Russia, and the U.S. It's amazing how much our lives have changed over the years. Here is a link to Stefan's church.. go check it out!!.

God has used him in great ways. Who knows, maybe one day you'll get a chance to meet him.

Busy Few Days

It's so beautiful right now in Austin. Man I just love this town! We have a busy weekend ahead of us. The Annual Krieg Family Reunion is going down in Taylor, Texas on sunday. Watch out Taylor, here come boat loads of Kriegers!!! Then we're having 3 Iraqi students over for dinner. In the meantime I'm trying to figure out how we burned through almost 30,000 gallons of water in June. I'm nervous we might have a water leak.
