Finally Leaving

Our bags are packed, we’re ready to go…                    We’re Leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when we’ll be back again…

That old John Denver song has been running through my head for about a week now. Why? Because we’re finally leaving that’s why!

We’ve purchased our tickets and will be leaving Chicago on January 9th, 2008 to begin our new life of ministry to the people of Papua New Guinea.

I hope you’ll pray for us as we make final preparations for what could be the hardest thing we’ve yet done.

Pray that we can enjoy the Christmas season despite the hectic business of getting ready to leave.

Pray that we can make the most of our last few days with family and friends.

Pray for our boys, Connor and Jonas. They have to say goodbye to their friends at school.

Pray that we’ll remember to pack everything we’ll need, and that we won’t need what we forget to pack.

Pray for us as we say our goodbyes. When looking back, 4 years goes by very fast, but it looks a lot different from this point of view.

We appreciate your prayers on our behalf. We feel privileged to be able to do what we do. We have the best jobs in the world, and consider ourselves truly blessed.
