One of the sailors in attendance was Preston, who I baptized two weeks ago. Also in attendance was another sailor-turned-seminary student, Ryan, and the two men who's salvations I had the privilege of confirming. It was great getting to regroup after being on post-deployment stand-down. We also enjoyed getting to show the guys our house and letting them know that this is a place they are welcome to and safe in. Finally, I was glad to introduce them to Dave, who is a very capable guide. Hopefully, Dave will get the chance to minister to some of these guys in the coming weeks and months.
Here are some pictures of our fellowship:
5 things to ask in heaven:
-Why are there so many things we don't know?
-Will our loved ones remember us?
-What was the thorn in Paul's flesh?
-What would the pregnancy/birthing process be like if there was no sin (from one of the ladies)?
-How did you pick Mary to be the mother of Jesus?
And here are some of the things we wanted to do:
-Meet the disciples.
-Sing praises to God.
-Hug Jesus.
-Eat and not get fat.
This wasn't my first time to have sailors over to the house, but it was the first time I did it with a purpose of building the lives of men. Investing in these sailors is a dream come true for me. It rocked!

Dan, you rock! This is such a great outreach! You are such a quiet guy from what I've seen so far but you have such a depth to your soul. I can see why Alicia loves you so much!
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I appreciate it!
Dan, I would love to do something like this in my area. My wife and I go to a home church, so we are mostly just around family. i would love to expand on that and get to know some other Christians in my area. Any suggestions?
I will do some thinking and writing on this Mark. I'll have some suggestions for you this week I hope!
Great! Thanks, I appreciate it. You can hit me up at my personal email if you would like.
