Send off!
Today is Sunday. Sundays are good! Our little grand daughter, Emily, was with us at Grace Bible Church. We had a special invitation to join the 9:00 prayer time in the pastors' office. The "pray-ers" made a bit of fuss over our Africa trip and prayed for us. After a joyful service of worship, a number of people wished us well and said they would pray for us. We go as representatives of Grace Bible Church and feel the support of the congregation. We are pleased to carry the goodwill of our church to our missionary, Sharyn Thomson. Carolee also represents Wycliffe and wants to encourage the Wycliffe missionaries in Burkina and Ghana.

Ken and Carolee,
ReplyDeleteComing to Africa? Couldn't you just extend your trip and make a short diversion south and come visit us? We would be very excited to welcome you. However, as we have just spent a week in Ethopia (James was asked to give a FGW workshop for the CFGB), I appreciate that it is almost as far as one side to the other of Canada to come as far south as South Africa, but if you decide to do one of those crazy last minute things..... We heard you spoke at Crossroads 25th anniversary celebration. Oh I wish I could have been there. We are supposed to be getting the tapes from the events. It sounds like you will be having a wonderful trip in Africa, and we will follow you by blog. God's blessing on you as you travel. Love Joan (and James).
