Prayer partners,
We are still in the states and are finishing a busy few weeks. Here are a few of the things we have been involved in since we returned in November:
-- presented in approximately 10 different venues (including churches, retired missionary gatherings, and more).
-- reconnected with family and friends.
-- received medical clearance to return to the field.
Recently we did experience a sad event, as the missionary with whom we were deported from Russia, Alvin Conyers, went home to be with the Lord. He passed away the day before we got on a plane to fly to Atlanta (his hometown). We were planning to spend time with Alvin, but instead we knew the Lord wanted us to be there to be with his family and friends as well as to celebrate his life. Our lives were profoundly touched by this remarkable human being, who was a Christlike example of kindness and humility even in the midst of such a difficult situation as deportation.
We have also just finished participating in a mission weekend here in north Texas, and we expect our schedule to slow down some going into March, so if we have not met with you please notify us and we will do everything we can to make it to you.
We do not yet have a future place of service but hope to have more direction on that in the coming weeks.
May God richly bless all of you who lift us up to the Lord, as we know your prayers "availeth much!"
Thanks and look for more updates soon!
