We gathered at Mobile Airport between 2:00 and 2:45 pm Friday, July 20, 2007. As each team member arrived you could since the excitement building within the group. As I watched team members tell their family and friends goodbye, I reflected on the many times the Apostle Paul had to say goodbye to embark upon the missionary journeys that he did for the Lord.
The flights all went well and the food was, well – airplane food – what can one expect? We arrived in Cardiff, Wales around 1:00 local time today. Meeting our friends here was nothing short of awesome. It was like coming home. We have spent today relaxing and recovering from jet lag. I am so anxious to worship with our friends tomorrow!
Last year a very good friend of mine and a member of the church that I pastor came with us. After returning to the states he surrendered to the preaching ministry and soon began to feel God call him to come to this valley to minister full time. Since that announcement, the little church here has called him as their pastor. Now, he, his wife, and daughter are preparing to move here and begin the ministry that God has called them to. I ask that you pray for them. They are Robert and Tammy Willmann. They have returned with the team this year and are praying that God will even now begin to move and provide the means of their coming. I end this blog to finish preparing for tomorrow and ask that you continue to pray for the team and ministry opportunity while we are here.
