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…<\/span><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I hope you’ll pray for us as we make final preparations for what could be the hardest thing we’ve yet done.<\/p>\n

Pray <\/span>that we can enjoy the Christmas season despite the hectic business of getting ready to leave.<\/p>\n

Pray<\/span> that we can make the most of our last few days with family and friends.<\/p>\n

Pray <\/span>for our boys, Connor and Jonas. They have to say goodbye to their friends at school.<\/p>\n

Pray <\/span>that we’ll remember to pack everything we’ll need, and that we won’t need what we forget to pack.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
