More Great Books.....

I just wanted to post some more of the books we are reading! I would encourage you all to get a hold of these and let us know your thoughts too! We are continuing to learn more and more about Missional Communities and church planting and want to take the opportunity to share with you what we are learning from!

Building a Discipling Culture--Mike Breen and Steve Cockram


Covenant and Kingdom--Mike Breen



...and yes, I'm still reading Faith of Leap--Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch! With school still going (and thankfully almost done, it's been hard to finish it but so far is an excellent read for anyone who calls themselves a Christ-Follower!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

We are missing much of our family during this time but also so thankful to be around people we love! We are staying put in Idaho for the holidays and we could not be more thankful to be spending it with Nat, Shan and the kidos! It's been nice having a couple of days off together and really looking forward to some great food tomorrow!

We want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and thanking God for how He constantly provides! We are seeing every step of the way that He has orchestrated all the details in us being here to learn and grow and prepare for what He has for us in our family and ministry. Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers and we pray that God blesses you and your family as well!

Have a great Turkey day!
Benj and Steph

Time to Explore...

We did some exploring on Sunday after church!
We went up to Bogus Basin, but didn't quite make it. The roads started to get bad so we decided to drive as far as we could then headed back down.







We had a little bit of snow at home, but nothing to stick. The snow right now is all in the mountains and we were glad to see the beautiful sights!

The Cold Has Arrived!

Happy November Everyone!

Sorry we haven't posted in a while! We are in full swing with our jobs and life in the Litter home. Benj returned home last Monday from being on the road for a few weeks with work, and is home this week as well! It is such a blessing as we remember and are in awe of how God provided such amazing jobs for us and the ability to do those jobs well. We continue to love being around Nathanael, Shannon, and the kids, and are blessed by having them in our lives to grow with and bless as we live here with them. We are so thankful to be able to get rid of so much of our school debt and save too!

Along with getting used to work and our new lives here in Idaho, we are also adjusting to the cold! The frost is beginning to show up on our cars each morning and we are in full use of our warmer clothing! We are still trying to build our winter wardrobe as most of our clothes in Florida would just not cut it! While we loved the warm weather, there's just something about feeling and seeing the seasons change. We love seeing the mountains on our way to work every day and love seeing the changing leaves and we are amazed at how beautiful God's creation is each new day. Here's a picture when we were driving into downtown Boise!



We will do our best to post some more pictures soon and we will also be sending out our newsletter and prayer calendar this evening! Please email us at thelitters@gmail.com if you would like to be added to our mailing list or if you have anything we can be praying about for you and your families.

Here's one of the airports Benj was based in. It's exciting that he gets to see different parts of the country through his job!
