Missions Rewind and summer road trip

Our summer was very busy as the Lord opened the doors and led us on a 5000 mile road trip across several states.  Our journey started in PA to Wisconsin where we had an invitation to share at YWAM Madison.  In Nebraska we were blessed to visit Andee, our former ‘Mission Nanny’ and her husband Teddy.  Jo got to show her family around YWAM Cimarron, CO, where her journey in missions began 21 years ago, and spend a few days enjoying the mountains.  We were privileged to catch up with precious friends in Colorado Springs & Denver as well as meet with new ones near Fort Collins.  Missions Rewind with Crossroads Church in Freeport and Polo, Illinois was so encouraging as we listened to reports from teams who ministered in Joplin, Missouri and Brazil – powerful evangelism and miracles in abundance!  What a joy to hear what God is doing around the nation and globe even as we share what is happening in Chad.   We also spent a weekend in Maine, getting to know the wonderful folks at Messiah Christian Church.  God is good!

We shared about Chad in YWAM bases and churches and had much prayer directed that way;   it has been good to look back and share about the faithfulness of our God, there is lots of encouraging interest in our current campus project, the "Village des Nations" and we are thankful.  Everywhere we got to share, we saw God move and restore people in an encouraging way.  We were reminded how easy it is for winds to sweep away our hearts of gratefulness and replace them with unwarranted discouragement.  Seasons change; summer to fall, winter to spring but those who trust in God remain steadfast. 
It is a choice not to trust in horses and chariots but in the Lord. (Psalm 20:7)
