Dear Friends & Family,

We are about to fly out on April 27th to start language school and feel we have one foot out of the boat and another foot about to step into that great big ocean water by faith. Pray that we can keep our eyes on Jesus all the time so that we do not sink!


It was really good for us to have some time to visit with some of you and tie up some loose ends. We are ready to move on to the next step towards a field rich with a harvest ready to hear the good news of Jesus. Pray for the Hearts of the Quechua people to be open to the Gospel and Discipleship. Pray for us to be able to effectively communicate God's Word clearly and boldly.


Right now we are hearing of many mud slides caused by the unusual amount of rainfall in the areas where we are going. Some effects are causing the roads to close and some homes destroyed. Pray for rain to stop long enough to fix roads, homes and create better drainage systems for future rains.


We cannot thank you enough for your friendship, generocity, love and prayers. We could not do anything without God and the prayers of His people. We will miss everyone dearly and will think of you all often as we are away. God Bless!
