Aahh, Home Sweet Home!


Well, we made it home. Sorry to anyone who was looking for this blog earlier. We were pretty tired yesterday, and spent much of the day visiting with our families. But we did make it home safely and were very glad to be back on American soil again. I am going to Good Springs, AL in a bit to see my nephew! I can't wait! It was really good to see our parents and we are looking forward to seeing the rest of you soon!

We had a great trip and definitely encourage each of you to consider going on a mission trip of your own. There is money to come up with, new things to get used to, and family to miss, but it is well worth all of this for the chance to share the love of Christ and the good news of the gospel truth with those who seem to have not heard or have never experienced the fellowship of believers together. There are no words for the joy you will have after being Christ's hand to help someone in need. Of course, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to make a difference in someone's life. There are many different people, God has woven into the web of our daily circle, who could use your touch, your smile, or your words of encouragement. Let us be true to the call of our Lord to share Him with those who do not know Him. So, we want to just send out much encouragment to keep your eyes open and your hearts ready to serve others and share Christ with those around you each day and if you sense the call to go outside your circle to reach others for Christ, please surrender to the call. You will not regret that decision. Don't put it off either! Don't wait until you are old and realize that you have not been faithful to share the inheritance Christ has blessed you with.

Thank you for your many many prayers and much support for Britt and I!! We feel so grateful to have such wonderful friends and prayer partners to count on! We ask that you continue to pray that God will use us all to carry His love to those around us each day and that we would remain faithful servants to Him.

Thanks again...and I hope to blog again sometime soon. Check back if you like and see what we are up to.

Love you all greatly!
