The Love Of God.....

It is the Love of God that leads people to open their arms and compels them to give generously to others.
We spent this last week watching one of the most amazing things unfold in front of us. The church we were at decided that one of the greatest things they can do as a local body of Christ is to love people who have given their lives to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. They thought it was their privilege not a duty to care and love on us and the other families that were there. There is so much that did for us that I am absolutely speechless still..... all I seem to be able to say is WOW!!
More later when can get the words to come....

The First Next Big Step!!

We would covet your prayers this week as we go to our first official church for a mission conference as missionaries. There we will try to pass along this deep and heavy burden we have for the Issan people and Gods persecuted church. Pray that we will only say what we need to and only what He wants us to say. We want to be clear and concise and be able to come across with the heart of God for the nations.
This is one of the greatest faith journeys I have ever been on and I am so excited to keep seeing Gods hand move and work not only in our life but the lives of those we touch while on this portion of the journey. It is true for us that this part of our journey may be the most important part of this choice to follow our Savior to the end of the earth.
Also, pray that God will continue to open other doors and we will be wise in the path we choose.

Praise the Lord

We talked to Dad on Skype last nite about 9:30pm right before he went back into the airport. We didn't hear anything after this until 1am. He was again detained officials and completely searched and all of his belongings taken and gone through but they never looked in his computer bag which held the most important documentation and photos of our "Family" connections. They finally released him shortly before his scheduled flight was to leave. We have been on the phone all morning with Delta airlines trying to confirm that he actually got on the plane. I was able to get a confirmation that he is on the plane headed to Atlanta about 30 min ago. Praise the Lord!!! We may not know anything else until this evening when the plane lands on US soil. We are trying to get Delta to tell us how the storm may effect his arrival but our family is prepared to drive to wherever and get him if necessary. Thank you all for your intercessory prayer on our behalf, we will post any new news as we get it!!!
