HOW BLESSED WE HAVE BEEN!
Here we are after 4,000 miles, safe and
sound in our missionary home in St. Petersburg. We arrived early
Saturday morning after the longest day in the car yet, and were
able to spend Easter Sunday with our local church family. I would
like to say this ends our Road Trip, but it is only an extended
stopover until we head out for Lake Wales, Florida this weekend and
finally off to PA via Asheville, NC. Again we had been spared
sickness while in the midst of our travel, however on arrival to
Florida several of the children started showing signs of
colds.
We are so very grateful to all of you who opened your churches,
homes and hearts to our family. We were blessed by so many who
showed so much encouragement and support for our new work we are
beginning in Lebanon. We now prepare for the final journey into
this new season and we wait to see God move through the churches
and individuals who will support our mission.

Day 23, we have been forced to make
split up this week. Praise God for the flexibility he has trained
into us over the past three years! I am currently in Memphis TN
with Greg, Emily, Jennie and Alison, Pam had to go to Atlanta with
the six other children. We are trying to release the house in
Atlanta. Pam is doing what she can there this week, and we are
advertising it on Craig's list. The market in Atlanta is completely
dead and homes have devalued greatly in the past year. Pam has met
with a couple people to try to find alternatives. The latest is we
are looking for renters or to sell to investors who can by the
house at a steal, covering the remaining mortgage and sit on it for
a couple years until the market bounces back and they can make a
substantial profit. With no renter, the monthly mortgage payment is
a burden we cannot carry. This Sunday we join the family back
together for a church in Madison AL, then back to Florida for two
churches there. We are scheduled to leave Florida on April 3rd,
heading north. We have a church visit in Asheville NC on the 6th,
then on to Lebanon. When we do arrive, we are going to be road
beat!
