So.....in absence of a typical update this week, I finally did something I know I told you some of you I would do over a year ago! I uploaded some photos of our little home! We have only lived here like a year and half now. :) I will try to do photos more often on the blog, but I guess because my laptop is so old, it literally takes 20 minutes to upload 10 photos! I am just praying the trusty old thing holds up a little longer. Our home is kind of like an efficiency apartment. It was renovated from an old hotel building. The story behind it is so cool! This hotel was located on the lake about a mile from where we live. The hotel was old and not in fantastic shape, and a couple in the community wanted to donate the lakefront property for a city park. Instead of demolishing the buildings, they donated them to YWAM, AND paid to have them moved onto our property! It was an incredible answer to prayers here over many years, asking for more staff housing. Some amazing staff here renovated them into little apartments that have been lived in since Fall 2010. Our cousins, Josh and Emily Brooks, made a fantastic short video about this gift.
Here is the link if you are curious!
We feel incredibly blessed to have such a cozy and peaceful home to come home to after very long days of ministry. Thank you all for being a part of providing a place that is a haven of rest for us, and also one where we can invite people in and show hospitality. Hope you enjoy your little tour!
Love, Jason and Erika
