Well December has come and has gone, even though it was a month ago. It was not so full with travel although a lot did happen. The first part of the month saw us in Split, Croatia where we linked up with the team working on the new OM Ship (picture with all of the rugged looking people. It also brought me to a team in London to do something I had never done before, Muslim evangelism. I was put on a diverse team which included Canadians, Dutch, Koreans, Americans, an Egyptian, a Pakistani (whom I am standing with) and a Mexican - some with different levels of English speaking ability, but all intent on sharing the Gospel with whomever we could find. I was also able to travel to Portugal for the first time. That trip was so George could speak to a large group of University students who had organized this mission's conference from the ground up without any organizational backing. Very grass roots! While there both George and I had an amazing opportunity to be interviewed by some new friends in a film crew who were reporting on the conference for Portugeuse National T.V. Some of the students came forward to the globe and laid hands on a country that they felt God may be leading them to serve in cross-culturally. This seemed to be a genuine time for those students who did come forward! I was also able to spend some of Christmas day with George and Drena and their daughter and grandsons. It was a privilege and a memory that will last.
