2007 was a remarkable year for Christi & I. We stepped into the role of temporary pastors over Commonwealth Church at St. Mark’s in the heart of downtown London at the end of 2006 and to say we really enjoyed it would be an understatement. After more than a decade it was wonderful to be able to call London home again. A major metropolitan city, London is a global hub and truly a mission field. The congregation of Commonwealth Church is made up of over 25 nationalities, but they embraced us as family and we know that God sent us here. At the end of our time there Rod & Julie Anderson became the full time pastors and we look forward to working with them more in the future!

Although we’ve had a few opportunities to visit the UK recently, living here is quite a different story. It has been nearly a decade since we moved back to Texas and so it is exciting to see all of our favorite sites again. London has always been an awesome mission field to us because its population is made up of so many different nationalities.

One thing that’s taken some getting used to is the early sunset — about 3:30 or 4pm each day!
