Three Weeks in the Air!


In just 21 days we will be up over the Pacific Ocean on our way to Seoul, Korea! After a 14-hour flight from Dulles to Seoul and a brief layover in Korea, we will then take a five-hour flight to Chiang Mai, Thailand and arrive just after midnight almost two days after we started (we cross the international dateline on the way). After a few hours rest, we will then go to the training center to get things ready for Orientation Week. We had a meeting this past Thursday to finalize who will be teaching what that first week of Bible instruction and orientation. We are getting very excited about meeting our students and making new friends. We are looking forward to their testimonies about what God is doing in their lives, and even better than that will be our times of prayer with them. A lot needs to be done before we leave, so please pray we can get everything ready. A note from FLC this week asked us to pray for the rest of the funds to come in for the Barefoot Doctors School. Some of the students have already left their villages to walk to Putao where they will catch a plane to Chiang Mai. It will take some of them two to three weeks to walk there! Imagine that! And we complain about rush hour adding an hour to our commute! Thanks for your prayers!
