We are blessed!

“Blessed To Be A Witness,” Ben Harper

Corcovado parted the sky
And through the darkness
On us he shined
Crucified in stone
Still his blood is my own
Glory behold all my eyes have seen
Have seen

I am blessed...
I am blessed to be a witness

So much sorrow and pain
Still I will not live in vain
Like good questions never asked
Is wisdom wasted on the past
Only by the grace of God go I
Go I

I am blessed...
I am blessed to be a witness

Faye & I have been truly blessed by God through all of our close family & friends over the past couple of months. We feel humbled, cherished and deeply prayed for as we depart for Africa. So many of you have supported us financially, have cooked us wonderful meals and given us sweet, genuine cards, showering your words of encouragement and love upon us. Your questions & genuine interest in what God is doing in our lives has been truly amazing. From the beginning, it was a desire of my heart that people would respond to what we are doing, not because of the astonishing statistics we spout out or the wise and persuasive words we use, but because something moved in them. That they would be truly interested in the people of Africa and us as individuals: that desire has been fulfilled, and we are truly blessed by you.

And here we go! We are departing Seattle in about 4 hours, then spending about 9 hours in London for our layover, then off to Entebbe where we are supposed to land Thursday morning. We look forward to giving you our next update from the other side of the globe. We love you all!!!
