NEWS!New camera: Thanks to many generous supporters, but most of all to God who provides for all our
needs, I was able to purchase a new camera body that has already hit the streets with me. The photos
on these pages are a tesmony of God’s provision both for me and for the people we love and serveon the streets.
Media work: Life is speeding up as I have added a few more things to my plate: I am scheduled to pro-
vide photographic coverage for the Woman’s Prayer Summit, a prayer gathering in NYC Oct 30 (www.
womensprayersummit.com). I am also working on the planning team for this year’s Don’t Walk By, an
annual search & rescue homeless outreach in NYC in January (www.dontwalkby.org).
STMs: The last Finnish short term missionary, Susanna, le in August and I was very sad to see her go!
But I have been rooming with a returnee, Johanna, for the last month and have enjoyed living, loving,
and serving with her (and serving her!). Over the next month several more Finns will be coming towork with us for a short me too.
