December 28


A month flies by quickly!

We've been in the states for 2 1/2 weeks now. We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with family. The girls had a great time reconnecting with cousins. We connected with Terri, who is raising her budget to come to Moldova now and she should be with us in the Spring and with another couple who are applying to come to Moldova. We know God has good things in store for Moldova.

We are still in the states, but now we are back to work. We flew today to Louisville, KY for the World Missions Summit. We are working to switch our brains from Christmas preparations, celebrations and times with family to this great summit. In the next few days over 3,000 college students will be arriving in Louisville to be challenged with missions.

During the next few days, please pray for God's safety for all as they travel here by car, bus and plane.

Pray that we have devine appointments with students who would consider coming to Moldova to work with us.

Pray for the hearts of students to be open to hear what God has to say to them about how they can be involved in missions.

Pray for our 3 girls, who have stayed in Wisconsin with Andy's sister, Rachel, and her family. We miss them and they miss us.

Pray also for our beloved brothers and sisters in Moldova who will celebrate Christmas this next week. This is a great time for outreach there, and we pray that God touches hearts as people seek to see the reality of Christ in Christmas in Moldova.

Thanks for your prayers for us.

After the Summit we return to Minneapolis to gather the children, pack and head back to Moldova. But we are excited for the good things we know God will do here in the next few days.

Have a wonderful day!
