Back in the Saddle Again

We are packing up the van, preparing to head out on our third major trip of the year. Our last trip lasted 35 days, averaging more than 120 miles per day (for a total of 4,240 miles driven). We were very grateful to be able to use Ruth’s parents’ Suburban for our wintry trip to New England.

Now we are back in our beloved (or, at least, familiar) ’94 Dodge Caravan for a trip that will last at least 49 days. We’re not sure how many miles we will add to the 183,001 miles it already has. Our trip will include a week in North Carolina (at the church where Ruth spent most of her growing-up years), then on through Pennsylvania to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. I also get to squeeze in a trip down to Clearwater Christian College in Florida (thankfully, by plane!) to speak one day in chapel during their missions conference.

Please pray that God will give us safety, spiritual and physical health, profitable meetings, and the financial backing we need for our mission to France.
