I came across this picture online a few weeks ago when I was putting together our Summer Newsletter. The first thing that caught my eye was the road - you know, the white and yellow lines. Then I saw the rainbow. The road is the means to arrive at the rainbow - leading us to the promise!
For the past 18 months we have been "on the road" - 165 churches - 9 states - 50,000 miles. Last weekend we were in southern West Virginia. This weekend we will be in eastern Pennsylvania. The following weekend, back to West Virginia. We have enjoyed the process so much. We have met so many wonderful people - worshipped in many great churches.
At the front of our minds there are always statistics - 89% monthly support raised - 70% cash support raised ... numbers that have been accumulating each week, thank the Lord. We have prayed hard that we would not lose sight of the goal. I know that after the itineration is finished, the mission really begins. One year of language school in Costa Rica then onto the field of our calling ... ARUBA and the ABC Islands!
Each one of you is traveling this road with us. Your friendship ... your prayers for us ... your support for us ... your incredible encouragement to us ... your believing in us.
We are confident that God is with us ... and thank you for traveling with us also. How could we ever feel lonely?
