Where there is no vision, the people perish. . .
As you can tell, we’re still trying to get caught up on our updates. Who knew traveling these many miles would tire the body so much? I guess there’s a reason why the majority of missionaries on deputation are half our age. Still, God has been good, and we have no complaints. . .a few aches and pains maybe, but no complaints.

One of the calls he made was to a friend of ours who is the assistant pastor at a local church. The intent of the call was to book a meeting for sometime in the future, but the assistant pastor informed us that was not necessary.

While we were eight hours from home, we still had the privilege of being around long-time friends. Ironically, we had never met these friends face to face.

Jason had the Sunday School hour to present our burden and teach, and I was asked to sing. Jason was also given an opportunity to share our ministry during the morning service and to preach for the evening service, when I was again given the opportunity to sing. One loving family took us out to eat after the morning service, and another took us out after the evening service. While we enjoyed the food, it was the fellowship that made our hearts sing. The entire day was a joy and blessing!
