It’s 12am on Thursday morning and we are leaving in 12 hours to head to the airport to fly to China for our last leg of the race.  I’m excited to go to China, but its weird at the same time, because I know the end is coming.  China is a closed country, meaning Christianity is not allowed there.  I will not be able to access my site from China.  I will be sending my mom blogs to post for me, but they will be very few and far between.  I also will not be able to let you know the exact city of our location.  The Chinese government supposedly watches the internet really tightly and it has increased due to the Olympics coming to Beijing in 2008.  Please feel free to continue to comment on my blogs.  Comments are so encouraging and I can read them at a later time.   Please also feel free to continue to e-mail me, but please be aware of the language you are using.  Anything regarding Christianity or God needs not be written about or in code.  Thanks!


As usual, you are all very important to me and your prayers mean so much!  Please continue to pray for us as we finish our last 40 days of this experience!


– Pray for safe travel.


– Pray for our ministry (whatever that may be)


– Pray for China and the Chinese people.


– Pray for my team


– Pray for processing, debriefing, planning, as we think more and more about home.
