HUGE thanks to Don and Wendy Everts for lettine me crash with them last night...I'm really bummed I forgot to get a picture with Don and the family.  Their kids are incredible! 

Don Everts - Bonhomme Presbyterian Church
Don and I had breakfast this morning, and I had the chance to hear more about Don's story and WHY HE MOVED FROM BOULDER, CO TO CHESTERFIELD, MO???!!!  Trust me, there is a reason regardless of how insande it might seem at first!  :)  Actually, his story is inspriing because he and his wife are following a clear call from the Lord.  The author of 9 books, including Jesus With Dirty Feet, shares about his call to take the gospel to "Suburban America"...

Matt Kearns - Missouri Baptist Convention
Matt has been coming to Catalyst for 7 years now and has become a good friend to the whole team...I had to get up to Kirksville, MO to see him and the team regardless of the drive.  I had the chance to sit in on the last half of a training day that Matt led for campus leaders for the Baptist Student Union all over the state of Missouri.  Matt even gave me a chance to talk to the group and share a little more about Catlayst...can't wait to have the entire group down to Catalyst in October!  Just wish I had more time to really dig into Matt's story!

Here are some pics from dinner with Matt and the team!

It's late and time for me to get some rest...will be flying back to Orange County tommorrow morning.  It's been a great week in St. Louis!
