How to Pray for Your Pastor
A daily guide for prayer


Californi' is the Place You Oughta Be...so we loaded up the truck and moved to .... Altadena?

So here's some news for those brave souls that frequent this site. Malou and I are moving to California. 

In December 2005, Malou and I moved to the Portland, Oregon area.  I have been working on a masters degree in Theological Studies with an emphasis in New Testament at George Fox Evangelical Seminary. For a short time, I served as part-time worship arts director at Cascdes Presbyterian Church in Vancouver, WA.  But for the last few years, I have served at Bethany Evangelical Free Church in Canby, OR.  I finished up my degree and graduated from George Fox.  I also just finished up at Bethany Church. 

 Malou has been working as a pharmacy technician at Walgreens here in Canby.

We've loved living in Oregon.  I am convinced that when it is sunny (and those days do seem rare sometimes) this is probably the most beautiful place a person could live.  We've enjoyed living close to the mountains, forests, waterfalls and ocean shores of Oregon.  We've also made a lot of great friends here.  But it's time to move on.

Jeff will be beginning a Ph.D. program in New Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, CA.  We are moving there this weekend so that I can begin a class in Theological German.  I am looking forward to this next step of the journey.

Malou will be transferring to a Walgreens store in California.

So another adventure begins.

If you'd like to get updates of our journey, just let me know and I'll add you to our email list.  Write to jeffsyv@yahoo.com.

Our Statement of Purpose:

"The church is bursting at the seams with rationality, decency, order, dignity, and predictability.  What it needs is the holy intoxications of foolishness, humor, craziness, outrageousness, creative disorder, and passion."
