72 Hours

3 day, 72 hours seems like such a short period of time. Hardly enough time to do much of anything really. Sure you could start some projects, do a couple of things here or there. But what can you do really?
Well our courageous team of 28 has manged a whole lot more. It started with a nightmarish travel complication in Memphis that resulted in the team loading into vans and driving to Jackson to start our journey. The reality was that the nightmare forced our team to throw all their expectations about the journey out the window and to draw close to each other in a period of time that normally would take a lot longer.
In the process we learned to preserver, we learned a thing or two about patience. We learned that God would meet us in our times of need. Maybe not with what we wanted (Lord knows the airline didn't) but with what we needed. Guess that sounds like a song.

Anyhow, we did arrive and the reception by our friend in Jackson has been wonderful. We were moved by powerful preaching at New Horizon Church on Sunday at their 2 1/2 hour service (hey announcements took half an hour!) We have been shaken and inspired by the powerful teaching of Lowell Nobel. And we have even begun to do some of the work we "wanted" to do. Not bad.

Really, it is amazing to see 8 families from two congregations come together in such a wonderful way. We appreciate your prayers as we work as the family of God.
Talk with you soon!
Blessings
The Team
