Just Two More Days

Just two more days to go before we fly back to Georgia for what seems now will be a long, long time. As I sit here in Lima thinking about all that has been and all that can be, I quickly realize that we haven't accomplished one half of the promises of God that have been prophesied over us. By this I am encouraged to believe that he isn't done with us yet!

This past Sunday, the Union Church of Lima hosted a pancake "brunch" in honor of our return to the US. I'm told more than 100 people attended! I wonder if they came for the pancakes or just to make sure we were actually leaving Peru for good this time! It was a great time of challenging the body of Christ there to volunteer more in the service of our Lord. When one identifies his or her God given passion(s) IE: those things that we can't help but get excited about doing, then getting involved in Godly service isn't all that hard.

Special thanks goes to Marty Clark, her hospitality committee, John Sanders and all his Union Church pancake flippers. Y'all are a great bunch of folks and I'm gonna miss y'all bunches!

I first visited Peru in November 1997. In the 13 years since that first visit, I have learned so much about me, God and just what I can live without. Carol and I have watched as God has opened door after door for us to serve him.

So just two days before we must return to the US to take care of my kidney condition, I'm wondering what God has in store for us next. Hopefully, while I will be recovering from a kidney transplant, Carol will be expanding her nursing knowledge and ability. In fact, she has already enrolled in an online Parish Nursing class hosted by the Eastern Mennonite University.

Please pray that we stay open to the will of God and pliable in HIS hands.
