Luke's Second Family

Meet the Mcllvoys, a special family to us and especially to Luke.
Some years back they were living in Germany where they served at Black Forest Academy as dorm parents. That is when we first got to know them.
Then, during the summer of 2010 when Luke was in San Francisco and interning for Wired magazine, he lived with Rob and Cathy and their family of four boys and two loveable cats. They welcomed him with open arms and made him feel at home right from the start. Luke fell in love with them (and maybe even the cats) and was sad to say good-bye to them at the end of the summer when it was time to head back to college.
Since last summer a lot has happened in the Mcllvoy's lives. God has moved them from their youth pastor ministry in SF to the Dominican Republic where they are serving as missionaries. We had the opportunity to meet up with them in Colorado Springs on July 11, before they flew to their new assignment in the D.R. on July 12.
We are so grateful to God for them, and look forward to hearing how God is going to use them as they continue to touch and bless many lives.
