Greetings from America! Yes, that’s right, I’m in LA right now for a brief layover. Actually, it turned into almost a 48 hour layover. We landed early yesterday morning. Since then we did errands, getting a few necessities from Target. And then early to bed! I was exhausted after the long travels, so the 9 1/2 hours of sleep last night were much needed. We have been welcomed by a wonderful couple, Bonnie and Ken, here in LA. They have opened up their home, welcoming us with open arms in the Name of Jesus.
Tomorrow early morning we will head to Nicaragua (via a brief hour or two layover in Miami). The good news is that I will be back on central time (CST)! Yeah! The unfortunate news is that I most likely will not have any internet connection during the next month, perhaps even longer. Thank you in advance for your faithful, fervent prayers, even when I cannot blog or email!
In Nicaragua, I will be helping the hurricane victims through relief work. We will be there throughout February.
The plans for March and April have yet to be solidified. Here’s the general plan. During at least 3 or 4 weeks of this time, we will be (and have been) seeking God’s face, asking Him to individually and as small groups to guide us to where He is already working and how we can participate in His work. (We call that ATL–Ask the Lord). I’m really excited about this time! Please be praying with me that the Lord will guide and direct my/our steps. Another challenge: For safety reasons, AIM wants a guy to go with us. We only have 4 men on our squad. Honestly, this makes me a bit nervous, but after prayer, God reminded me that I can trust these guys to seek out His face, and most importantly above any person I can trust God and His perfect ways, timing, plan. So be praying that the Lord gives us one heartbeat and mind, and joy in selflessness. The final two weeks of the race in April we will debrief together as a squad in Guatemala.
I love yal, miss yal, and thank God for you. God’s blessings to you!!
