A New Beginning

Okay, be patient with us while we try our hand at something new!

We have just completed 2 months of training in Canada, as our team (H4T) joined up with a short-term program called Trek. The "Trekkers" are all 18-25 year olds who are headed to Mexico and Egypt for the next 4 months. It was amazing getting to know these committed and passionate people, living with them and learning together. Life will seem pretty quiet and a little empty without them. It was awesome time for our team and family, and we feel much better prepared to depart for Thailand now. The Lord has been faithfully (and patiently) teaching us some awesome lessons about His power and grace.

Bob had the privilege of preaching at the commissioning service for all 3 teams, and many friends and supporters gathered to worship, to witness, and to pray. The text was Psalm 84, which reminds us that God has called us all to be pilgrims who bring God's blessing to the "valley of weeping" as they travel along. May God use us for that purpose as we follow His call!

Okay, we love you all. Keep in touch!

Bob and Chris
H4T
