As you can see it's available in three bright colors and features a pretty cool design...if I do say so myself.  You can snag one by clicking on the XMA Gear link above.

Got an idea for a great new product to be offered as XMA Gear?  Let me know and we'll see what we can do.  I'm always looking for new ideas!

If you weren't able to attend this year then you missed out on a really great video presentation summarizing the first TribalConnection medical clinic which was held in Honduras recently.  Dan Madoni of Crosspoint Church did an awesome job putting it together.   Don't worry if you missed it though, you can always watch it and other clips on our videos page.  Why not check it out now?

On an unrelated note caused by a sudden but not completely unexpected ADD flare up, be on the lookout for completely new and totally different trip shirts.  That's right, we're finally moving on from Old Faithful.   Of course the old school shirts will still be available for sale on the XMA Gear page.   I hope the new design will be a welcome change.  If not, please feel free to brood in silence over the injustice of it all.

Last but by no means least, I have to give it up for Clayton, Reed and Anastasia and their mad folding skills.  Without you guys I’d still be working on those programs!

The past few months have been an exciting time with the new website, newsletter format, tee shirt design, and desktop wallpapers just to name a few.   I really enjoy the creative aspect of my job so it's been a lot of fun pushing the envelope and trying new things.   If you haven't checked out the wallpapers yet please take a look and let me know what you think.  You can find them on the downloads page.
