September Update

Travel Plans

I am going to put my tentative travel schedule here so you’ll know when I will be in your area. If we have not connected yet regarding a visit, please send me an email. I would love to visit with you.

October 10 - Leave Spain

October 11 - 21 - Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota

October 22 - Arrive in Denver

December 1 - 5 - Arizona

Dec. 22 - 29 - Montana for Christmas (dates are still tentative)

Jan. 3 - 20 - Southern and Central California

Jan. 25 - 30 - New Hampshire

Feb. 24 - 28 - Michigan (leave for Spain on the 28th)

All other dates I will mostly likely be in Denver. My apologies if I won’t be in your area. I plan to schedule my home assignment every two years and I hope to see everyone at least once every four years, so if we don’t connect this year, I’ll see you next time. Thanks for understanding.

Since I will be preparing to leave, I will most likely not send out an October prayer letter. Thanks for your prayers during this time!

This month’s quote:

“Those who love their dream of a Christian community more than the Christian community itself become destroyers of that Christian community even though their personal intentions may be ever so honest, earnest, and sacrificial.”

--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Praises:

1. My pastor and I visited the office in Segovia last week regarding my residence card. They are apparently backlogged with work because of all the immigrants entering Spain. She assured me I would have my card before I leave for the States.
2. I am almost finished making travel arrangements and plane reservations for my time in the States.
3. Thank you to those who either joined my support team or increased your monthly giving. I’m asking God for 8 people that could give $10/month. Continue to pray.

Prayer Requests:

1. I have a few work projects and my language classes to finish before I leave. Pray that I finish well.
2. Biscuit (my dog) will be staying with friends here in Spain. Pray that they have a good time together and that she stays well while I’m gone.
3. Our annual WorldVenture Spain Team Retreat is October 5-8. Our International Ministries Director and his wife will be joining us. Pray for a meaningful time together.
4. Pray for travel safety, good flight connections and that some of the latest baggage restrictions will be lifted before I begin my travel.
