A few reflections upon the mid-way point of my trip around the USA, following Jesus and seeing what God just may do at any particular moment (in no particular order): 1. Being away from home has given me the time, space, and distance to see the things I love the most about life and ministry [...]

year-end update (and check out the new website theme!)
As we close out 2011, we are thankful for so many things. After relocating to Cape Town the previous June, this year was about settling in. School relationships, houses, ministry opportunities – submerging into the spaces God had opened up. We thank God for being so present during this transition. We thank God for His [...]

Five
On June 20, we celebrated one year in Cape Town. When we arrived, we had the sense that this was where God wanted us. We had pictures God had put on our heart, invitations, and questions. We knew that being here would mean changes – city, kids’ schools, employer. We also knew that God would [...]

Seasons – an update from the Stewarts
The seasons are turning. As things are warming up for those of you in the northern hemisphere, we are moving toward winter here in Cape Town. For our family, this isn’t a time for hibernation at all. In fact, there are a number of new things to tell you about… Iain’s baptism Iain was baptised [...]

What I am doing at The Warehouse
A friend was recently asking what I am doing with The Warehouse and I thought my response might be good to share with all of you as well. Always nice to blab on long enough to be able to use as an “update.” I think a tiny bit of history on The Warehouse might be [...]

The update you’ve been waiting for…what we are doing (please read all the way to the end of this post)
The past few months have been quite the adventure for us… coming back to South Africa and relocating to Cape Town, getting kids into a new school, finding a new house to rent and bringing our things from Pretoria (most of them made it…), and exploring possibilities for life and ministry. So much transition, and [...]

what we know, what we don’t
OK, I am pausing long enough to write out a bit of an update. There is a much longer (and clever, if I say so myself) document sitting on my desktop that I just couldn’t manage to finish off. Fortunately, a good night’s sleep and key conversation or two helped me go back to the [...]

The latest on our explorations
A few family updates to start Groote Schuur Primary School – the kids have all worked back into the regular rhythm of school life here. We have moved back in the middle of the SA school year, so AP, Iain, and Mairin have jumped ahead half a year to the middle of 6th, 3rd, and [...]
