No
I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth, even though it may seem
like it since I haven’t posted a blog in several months. I didn’t
get left behind in the jungle of one of many countries never to be
heard from again. I am no longer stranded in a remote village in the
bush somewhere with no way to communicate.
I
am back in the US, and I have so much to tell all of you.
But
first of all, let me apologize for how long it’s been since I last
posted. I’m so sorry–I could list a whole bunch of excuses, but
I will spare you all that, and just say sorry. All of you–all my
supporters, everyone who reads my blog, everyone who has been praying
for me and keeping up with me all year–you are all so important to
me, and I want you to know that I value you and that you have been as
much a part of this journey as I have.
I
will be posting more blogs in the weeks to come to let you know where
I’m at now that I’m back and also blogs that catch you up on how
my last two months of ministry went. There are stories that I want
to share with you about the people we met and the places we were, and
even though I’m not in those places anymore, their stories are
still important and deserve to be told, so I hope you will still want
to read them.
But
before I get to all the updates, the most important thing I want to
say is
THANK
YOU!
Each of
you has made this year what it was through your prayers, financial
support, encouraging words, or reading my blog. This year has
impacted my life in so many ways, and of course the lives of so many
people around the world. Thank you for believing in me and believing
in this mission. I couldn’t have done any of this without you.
So in
the words of all my new friends around the world…
Thank
You!
