Leaving on a 7 week ADVENTURE!!
So, as much as I would like to pretend like I wrote this Sunday, Feb. 8th, before I left, I can not help but confess that I am already in Highland, CA, and about to drive into AZ tomorrow. So far so good!
Man, don't we look cool?
Sunday Evening I pulled out of my parents’ driveway toward an uncertain adventure awaiting us over the next 7000 miles of touring. The thought on my mind as I left? “Wow, this is it.” The truth is that I had spent the last 36 hours in my grandparents garage trying to get my car to run properly. At about 1:30 PM Saturday everything came together and I was rejoicing loudly! By the time I pulled out of the driveway and down the road towards the ferry the next day I had had no down time to let my trip sink in. Hence my notion, “This is it.” All the planning and preparation (or lack of preparation at times!), and here I was: finally leaving.
Basic Sketch of the 7000 miles

The Above list is not completely fixed yet, but it is very close to its final form. The trip is a multi-purpose trip, one whose purposes have come together and grown over the past few months.
- Visit friends and family members that I have not seen in a while. Unfortunatly, I am not able to visit everyone of importance in my life. So, for the those of you left out of my national tour, please do not feel unloved. Stay connected on my site.
- Inform friends, family, and anyone else about my future missions plans. Oh, if you don’t know: I have future missions plans! I am going to Italy, but check it out on the “Mission” page.
- Research information and pick a few brains for some thoughts on building an international ministry discipleship program. Yeah, its a mouthful…
- Travel the country! For those of you who know me well, you know I like to travel. And this is just another opportunity to do what I love and what I need to at the same time!
Stay Posted for more updates on my site here. And stay posted on what God is going to do!

Hey Jacob,
What a cool thing to be doing at this time in your life! Duane & I are so proud of you and will be praying for God’s protection and direction. Sounds like a song huh? Think I will write it for you: Hey I need God’s protection as I’m
lookin for direction, everybody…say AMEN! (AMEN) No turnin back until I finish the track, everybody…say (AMEN)
I know that where God guides, He will provide,
so I’m in my (little red car) headed for a great big drive,
say amen (amen) say amen (amen) SAY AMEN! (Think Blues style) Have fun and we will stay in touch. Come & visit when you get back. We have a spare room just for you. Love you extra Son…very much.
