Joshua Timothy Joins the Ranks

Today (June 28, 2007)

Our Son Joshua Timothy Schulte came into the world.

Joshua-Named after the Joshua son of Nun from the Bible, and also shares the namesake of Jesus Christ- Jeshua (in Hebrew) for Deliverer. Our prayer is that Joshua would bring deliverance to those who do not know Christ.

Timothy-A namesake for Kristin's father (Timothy Peterson) as well as Timothy James (Uncle TJ) Schulte and Timothy Bohlke (Uncle Tim)

645 Students

A different Summer

Work here in the LeaderTreks office instead of overseas has definitely been different. It's a bit quite around here (there are only 2 of us in the office) but we have been very busy.

Even though I am not face to face with students as they build churches or orphanages I am getting to play a powerful role in the lives of students as I help youth pastors get resources they need to develop students in their ministries. In the past two weeks I have helped provide Student Leadership Studies, devotionals, and Spiritual Gift assessments for 645 students!

That was definiltey encouraging to realize that even though I am not face-to-face with students, I am providing resources that are growing leaders.

Running a 10 K

I ran a 10K recently here in the area... I ran The Run for the Animals in Wheaton on June 2nd.

I was excited to run it in only 55:28. Average of about 9 minute miles. I felt very good about it. I am training to run a half marathon in August with a team from my church. We run together every Saturday morning. It has been a great connecting point already.

Here are a couple of pics... you can see how great my pregnant wife looks!
