Latest trip!



George and I recently returned from five days in a central Asian country that is little known ( it seems most of central Asia is) in the world today. George spoke in 7 different Churches in a city that only has about that many Churches (actual congregations) and we saw all the pastors come together and pray together and work together for this missions conference. What a great feat that is. In many cities across America this would be difficult, but maybe under the duress of being an Islamic country they can seem to lay aside differences for something bigger than themselves, Baptists, Pentecostals, 7th Day Adventist, etc... all supporting the same mission vision. It's not perfect and there is division but that will always be somewhat of a reality, the important thing is that there is always something more important - God's mission for the lost and redeeming all things to Himself and His Glory!

Being Rich...



Please pray for Richard with me and our team. He seemed to have been a homeless man before coming to the camp we worked at but his legs were badly swollen and scarred and he has congestive heart failure and diabetes. He only gets $250 a month from the government but it is probably from a life on the streets and not being concerned with the future, but who knows - blame isn't a cure.
