Thank you to everyone who has been praying for the team, for our travel and our transition into the West. We're back in the West now. We're just not all in the same place at this particular moment. Here's the scoop ...
It has been in the works for a while, but the organization has been trying to get me home. While in Africa, my father was going through quite a lot. His surgery did go well ... initially ... however, it has been a long recovery. In fact, he's still in the hospital 5 weeks later. And so, needless to say, it was hard for me to be focused on my responsibilities of leadership with everything going on back at home. God was good and provided all of the strength that I needed to do what I had to do, but my boss (Marci) provided a way for me to get home as soon as possible. It is so incredible to know that I work for an organization that cares about ME and my family, and I'm not just a project to accomplish a company's goals. It is confirmation that I am where I need to be! Praise God for the people I work with!
The kids / rest of the team are at a camp in Indianna right now, spending some more time in training, rehearsals and just getting used to American life. Their first concert is actually this coming Sunday!
I'll be around home until Monday and then I'll be flying back to Chicago to meet up with the choir to continue on in the tour.
Thanks for your prayers! Please continue to pray for the group at the camp and for my fam / dad's health.

Andrew! Welcome back to Canada! so glad to hear your dad is doing well. He and your family have been in our prayers. Kris and I have your picture on our fridge (i grabbed a copy from CBC7 when i was home a few weeks ago) and we will keep you and your adventures with ACC in our thoughts and prayers!! ... i've also heard your name tossed around here in my office a few times as a possible candidate for worship pastor?! that's pretty cool... but one job at a time right!!
blessings on your day Andrew
Hey Andrew! I'm glad to see your update. I will be praying for you, your team , and your Dad. Thank goodness that we have a God who is bigger than all our trials and struggles in this world! I know He will give you all you need as you try to balance the needs of your family and your new choir family.
