Wow! It's been four years since Grace House was launched from the front lawn and driveway of our home the first Sunday in September, 2008. In one way, it seems much longer; yet, in the scope of God's plans, we are just beginning. 

First, let me say "Thank You!" to everyone who has been a part of Grace House and a special "God Bless You!" to those who continue the journey with us and "Welcome" to all of our ARK family who are now so much a part of our lives.

As I reflect upon the past four years, my memory album is full of a wide range of memories as we have struggled, waited, sailed and triumphed together. Certainly, we have all grown so much and the relationships are so much deeper than any I have every known. It is truly amazing at what we have seen God do in this past four years. It's like we have been to the hospital together; to boot-camp together; to the delivery room together; and to the Super Bowl together. The great thing is the "together" part. We have been forged by the loving hand of the Father into different people than we were. 

I believe we now know more about Him, about love, about grace, about patience, about endurance, about the Holy Spirit, about family; about Kingdom; about each other, and about ourselves. He has called us into a ever-changing glorious adventure that is moving us onward into the depths of His glory and our destiny. 

Mikki and I are so honored to be surrounded by such faith filled loving people who believe in their God and encourage and support us and one another. We thank our Elders, Staff, and Deacons who are so amazing and incredible as well as the entire Grace House family. All of you are so valuable to the Kingdom. May Father God pour out His awesome grace in abundance upon each and every one of you. You are an incredible people who carry the love of God so well. Happy 4th Anniversary! The future awaits us....
