Well, 5 days until we leave for our orientation in Hamilton!! I've felt incredibly fortunate to have so many people supporting us in this trip. Thank-you to all who have given a kind word or a note of encouragement. Thank-you especially to all of you who are praying. The support I have felt from many of you has blown me away.
Today, for example, about 20 people met at my church (Grant Memorial Church) and spent some time praying for us and our time in Equatorial Guinea. It ended with everybody laying hands on us and commissioning us for the time that we trust God is preparing for us. It was a very special time. I sometimes wonder if people really know the person who they are sending out, and if they really knew me if they'd be as eager and supportive. I take comfort in the stories about Jacob and Peter and the way God stuck with them despite their obvious flaws. One person prayed that we would return as different people. I wonder what that person will look like and what he will think of the person i am now.
