If you've had a big prayer burden for this trip then I know why. I can't tell you online the reasons but I want you to know you aren't crazy. God is up to BIG things even miraculous things! I can't wait to share personally!

Here's one thing I can share. Steve Igarta who was our apprentice leader on this trip had prostate surgery just three weeks before coming. He overdid it in Hong Kong on the first day and he had problems all along the way. He was a trooper and inspired all of us with his tough resolve. He had to go to a hospital or clinic three times but every time God provided just what he needed. The last two nights held an emergency room visit for him. He is on a plane now headed home to CA so please pray he will have God's providence for this trip.

Another way that God showed up was in the creation of this team. I don't know that I've ever served with a team that was so clearly put together by God. We are like a body that has all the parts in place and each one is playing the role God determined ahead of time that they would play. His preparation is so apparent. Kristen is doing a super job leading us.

We'll be headed home soon so pray us home. We love you and miss you!
