The Big Fall Season Starts Tuesday

Starting this Tuesday, October 7th, I begin my 2 ½ months of ‘round the country speaking about The Marin Foundation and our bridge building work! Here is my upcoming schedule (thus far), and I ask that you please pray for me – my mind, safety and productivity as I move from one place to the next trying to make a significant impact for the Kingdom within the gay and conservative communities.

Throughout this time of speaking I also have to completely finish editing my book, keep up with my graduate work, celebrate my 1 year wedding anniversary, run The Marin Foundation and love my wife! It’ll be crazy, but more than that, it is what the Lord put me here to do!
