A Few Pics

Sunday in Amsterdam

We have just finished our first full day in Amsterdam.  We started our morning by going to an Eastern Market (Turkish/Moroccan) where we got to experience some of the diversity of Amsterdam.  The market is one of the biggest of its kind in the world.  People travel from all over Europe to sell their items here.  We left the market and headed to lunch, we had an authentic Dutch lunch at McDonalds.  It was one of the best Quarter Pound Cheeseburgers I have ever had.  After lunch we came back to the hostel for a rest and to get ready for Church.  Church was a great time as we got to know some new friends and hear stories of how God is working in their lives.  Then we went to The Pancake House for dinner, according to the folks at church, this was an authentic Dutch restaurant and it was good

We have already spent a good bit of time walking around the center of the city.  Amsterdam is a beautiful city with tons of history, there is so much to see here both positive and negative.  Over the next few days we will be spending our time in East Amsterdam, walking and seeing where we may work.  Pray for us as we seek to find where God will have us work.

Thanks for checking up on us and what we are doing.  – Tim

We’re Here

Wanted to let everyone know that we are in Amsterdam with all of our luggage.  We are looking forward to a great week here as we try to learn the city and its culture.  Will update more in the coming days.

Thanks for your prayers.

Getting Ready For Amsterdam

It’s Thursday night and our bags are packed or at least my (Tim) bags are packed, I don’t know about Brad and Mike.  We leave tomorrow night at 6:15 for London and then on to Amsterdam after a short layover.  This is an exciting time for The Bridge.  It is a great oppertunity for us to begin to participate in “Loving our World.”

Over the next week we will be updating the blog with what we are experiencing and learning.  Check back for updates.

Thanks Tim
