A Word of Explanation

Most everyone reading this blog knows that we are going to Thailand in a couple of days. For those who are not up to speed on why we are going or what we will be doing there, I'd like to share some details.

We are traveling to Thailand to participate in a ministry that offers Bibles to tourists on vacation from China. They will be able to take the materials they receive back home. There are 10 of us going on this trip as a part of our small group from Fielder Road Baptist Church. We hope to be able to share details of our activities and some pictures each day.

Stephanie has had a heart for global missions since before I met her. I was much slower to come around. This is my first experience and I am thankful for the example of my parents, John and Madeline for showing that regular people could go and serve the Lord in faraway places. I am taking this journey wide eyed and ready to see what the Lord has in store for us. We appreciate and need your prayers for us as we leap off into this exciting and sometimes overwhelming endeavor.

Thanks to Linda and Laylan for watching the boys for us during these 2 weeks. Thats one less worry for us and lots less rest for them.

We depart July 31st and look forward to sharing our journey with you.

Nana & Pops are already having fun. We have had the boys for about 24 hours and have popped "poppers" on the driveway, Joshua and Pops went to a Junior Broadway Musical "The Music Man" and taken the boys fishing. Joshua caught a fish but Hayden was too busy realing his line in to see if he still had a worm to catch anything. We are reading a book and building massive empires with Tinker Toys. Between all of this we managed to get in morning and evening church. When we told Hayden we needed to get ready for church tonight, his comment was, "Again".
