Hi Everyone, We love it here in the atlanta area.(we are 30 miles south of downtown) Becky and I signed a lease yesterday on a really cute apartment that has been converted from an early 1800's mansion into a couple apartments. So i am sorry to mess up your address book but our new address has changed already and we are now at 228 e. poplar st. Apt. B Griffin, Ga 30224 *** Our new cell numbers are** Brad- 432-638-3478 Becky- 770-380-0480 The town of griffin is an adorable old town that is being revived by a lot of young families escaping the city life, the old timers that still care about the area, and the university of Georgia has opened up an extension campus there for their agriculture school. there are a lot of new businesses going into this old town so as soon as becky and I saw this little town we fell in love and knew that it was where God wanted us to establish our family and ministry. We are also hoping to sign a lease Monday on a 100+ year old store front to house the Armored Outreach Ministry offices, it has a lot of character and would be a prime place for us to set up shop and to serve the community. Our apartment is 2 blocks away from Rylan's school and 3 blocks from our proposed offices...SWEET!!!! ITs been a busy and productive two weeks here in south atlanta and God continues to show his favor, grace, love and provision in our lives. love you all. Brad, becky, rylan and bridger

 I decided to spend the month of July at our home town in Michigan with the boys while Brad was away on two mission trips with His youth group. We have had such a great time so far visiting with family and friends. Rylan (3 1/2) has had a fun filled summer hanging with both sets of grandparents and doing all kinds of summer activites. He has perfected his swimming skills, gone to the Toledo Zoo, the waterpark, Toledo Mud Hens game, and visiting cousins.

Bridger turned three months old on July 19th.  It's exciting to see how he is growing and learning.  He has already rolled from his stomach to his back and seems to get a "kick" out of everything and everyone. 

I, too, have been enjoying my time here with friends and family but miss Brad and can't wait to be a family again.  In the meantime it's been fun to share the boys with my friends and family.
