And the projects begin...

I just wanted to let you know that our first project with Extreme starts tomorrow! Everyone is very excited to meet the people who have given up their time and money to join us here in Arequipa to minister to the people here. There are 35 people coming in the first project for almost two weeks. Then a about a week after they leave around 80 people arrive for the second phase. Please pray that God is glorified in all of the project's events and that Satan doesn't have the chance to wiggle his way in.

Brad left yesterday to start working on improving the housing of our 40/40's in Iquitos. He will be living there in the guy's bunkhouse and working during the days for three weeks. Tyler and I already miss him but are very proud of his commitment to this ministry. Please be in prayer for our family as we are separated for this time. We know that it is a very tiny piece of time compared to the time some of our family have spent apart because of their jobs in the military so we refuse to whine about it! We have very good friends working with Extreme that have already stepped up to help me with Tyler. God is very good in working out all the details.

We will get some pictures posted of Brad's work in Iquitos and the Arequipa projects as soon as possible.

Michelle, I will be praying for each of you during these next weeks. I'm so thankful that Brad has recovered and is able to continue his work. Hope you and sweet Tyler find plenty to keep you busy so that time will pass quickly.

You both have been through so much to get to this day - your first work and witness team! And from reading the posts of some of the other 40/40s I know Brad's work on their housing will be a real gift to them. We will be praying for God to bless your labors and keep you all safe. I hope you'll feel Him especially close while you're apart from one another. Much love to you all.
