Welcome to our blog!

I am not sure how much writing we will do but we will be adding pictures from time to time. We began our blog in Romania where we lived for over nine years. The Lord called us to Romania in 1998 (arriving in Feb. 1999). We had an amazing adventure with Him. He allowed us to see him minister in many ways in Romania. We were able to see first hand political and economic changes but also enjoy its beauty when we were out in the countryside. Checkout the Bucharest and Romania slideshows on this blog.
We are now back in Texas waiting to see what the Lord has planned for us.

Building Dedication at UMHB

Nathaniel and Kelly are not the only University of Mary Hardin-Baylor graduates. My mother, Marilyn Gore Phillips graduated from UMHB when it was still Mary Hardin-Baylor College (a woman's college). She and my Dad have supported the school throughout the years. When the time came to raise money to build a building dedicated to Christian studies my parents pledged their support.

On Thursday, October 9th the Paul and Jane Meyer Christian Studies Center was formerly dedicated. Nathaniel and I went with my Mother to the dedication. More information about the building and dedication can be read at http://www.umhb.edu/news/9260

In the building is the Manning Chapel. It has beautiful stain glass windows. At the front of the chapel is one depicting Jesus.

Along the sides of the chapel are stain glass windows commemorating the work of missionaries who have served the Lord overseas - Lottie Moon (China), Adoniram and Ann Judson (Burma), William Carey (India), and Anne and William Bagby (Brazil). The window above is the Lotte Moon window.
