 We are still on track to leave for Asia-Pacific in March of next year, Lord willing!  That gives us about 8 months to complete the Partnership Development (support raising) phase of our ministry.      Our first trip of the summer is in the books: Michigan for Tyler’s brother’s wedding and Wisconsin for some sweet fellowship and Partnership Development.  It was a great […]
