Statistics

We are back at the cabin after spending Easter with our daughter Allison and her husband Byron.  We are in a bit of a shambles as we begin the packing process.  We are shipping by sea as it is impossible for us to ship by air, which being unfortunate, is just the way things go sometimes and we will look forward to seeing the blessings which will result.  We have found some folks in Atlanta willing to help us get this shipment out and have begun the process.

Our formal travel schedule is now over although we are still trying to put a trip to Idaho together and have a few things left to do, but we were wondering about this past year.   Sometimes it helps put some sort of perspective on things.  Since last September, we have traveled nearly 30,000 miles, stayed in 38 different places, spoke 123 times in a variety of venues in 87 different places as we shared the Good News of what God is doing in Mozambique.  We have been in 28 different churches during this time and we have experienced the overwhelming abundance of God's grace through His precious people.  We are so very appreciative of what God has done in this time of furlough and we look forward to returning to see what He will do in the next years in Mozambique.  He is truly faithful and we pray God will richly bless all those who stand so faithfully with us as together, we reach the nations for Christ.  What a privilege it has been.

The tulips are from the Duke University gardens in Durham, North Carolina where we were visiting some dear friends from Idaho who were there for medical consultation.  We simply can't get enough of spring this year, having missed it so very much during our time in Mozambique.  We serve an amazing God who dresses even the flowers in such splendor.

Blessings all.
