ourhouse through the eyes of others


...Grand Valley State University week!

Nearly six weeks ago, 13 students came to stay at our house for five days from Grand Rapids, Michigan – the home of our dear brother, Cornelius. The students were here in Seattle for their spring break trip to explore, meet new people and serve with their hands and their hearts around the city. Those thirteen became dear friends of ours. They became our brothers and sisters. Talk is going around about there being another visit from Grand Rapids come summertime. We at OurHouse look forward to this with great joy and excitement.



two new friends from Indiana Wesleyan University – Bobby and Carrie and three GVS friends

our new GVS friends thanked us for our hospitality by painting a mural for us!

here's ourhouse, complete with Richard, Jacob and Challah

we miss our new friends from Grand Rapids! we hope they decide to come back and visit! they had beautiful hearts and loved music, which we shared often in our home by evenings of praising G-d together and other nights by reminiscing on junior high by singing DC Talk songs.
