Back to the Northwest!

Rope holders,

Since the doctors do not know what is going on with Megan and Tess, our medical team has decided that we need to return to the states for evaluation and treatment for the next ? months. Because God has opened many doors for us to go to Seattle, we will be leaving Costa Rica this Friday morning and heading to the Northwest.

We have a LOT to do in the next day and a half so this letter is going to be short and to the point.

-Please pray for our children as they transition once again into another city and culture. Though the people in the NW are incredible, the culture is very different from our southern culture. So please pray that the kids would adapt well during this process.
-Of course pray that the doctors would find what is going on with Megan and Tess quickly and that they would be able to easily treat what ever is going on.
-Praises in that of the 4 months that we were told we should count on being there, God has already provided housing for all but a month of that time, which will consist of staying in 6 different locations.
-Pray that God provides housing for us for the month that we do not have covered.
-Pray that our children, as well as Megan and I, would be able to easily transition from one residence to another.

Psalm 62:7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

Thank you again for your prayers!

It seemed as if the ministry with my street friends had come to an end due to each of them finding employment. Thank the Lord that it has not come to an end. In fact, I ran into one of the guys (the man who recently came to know the Lord) and he wanted to start meeting on Sunday afternoons, and he wanted to bring two friends!
-Please pray that this ministry would grow strong enough to sustain itself after Greg and I leave Costa Rica (in less than two months).
-Praises in that not only is this ministry still alive but is apparently growing!

Last I wanted to share a video from pictures that I have taken over the last 5 years in various cities in the world. The song that the video is set to, is by a popular music group from the 70's. Because the truths expressed in this song were so impacting for me as a child, I felt the song would be perfect for this video. The video closes with my all time favorite C.S. Lewis quote.
The cities pictured are:
Seattle; Dallas/Fort Worth; Kunming; Vancouver, Ca;
Chihuahua, Mx.; San Jose, Costa Rica; Acuna, Mx.
