We all met at church starting about 11 PM Friday, prayed together and started the treck to Panama. After a drive to Chicago we got to wait in the airport a few hours before waiting on the Tarmac several hours. Apparently they not only forgot a piece of luggage, they forgot a whole container full, which required us to Taxi back to the gate and lose a couple of hours in the process.
In Miami, we fortunately had a long enough layover planned that we made our connection without problem. No problems in security in Panama other than due to lack of sleep, I almost left my backpack on the X-ray conveyor! Thanks to big Ed for noticing it!
Well, our friend Bobby the tour driver had a flat and was late three hours. He finally picked us up and we ate McDonald's before heading out on he road to David - an estimated 200 miles in 6 hours. Still driving now :(.
I write this as I fade in and out of consciousness due to lack of sleep. The travel has been a little harder this time, but we're holding up well.
Today I got to hear the fascinating testimony of one of our new team members. Guns, drug dealers, sickness, betrayal, and ultimately the audible voice of God drawing a man to repentance and true freedom in so many ways. I can't wait to get to know these men better and hear God's work in their lives!
Please be praying that God will work through us to bring the Indians to him and that he will work in us to draw us to him as well. To God be the Glory! Thanks for your interest and prayers!
Love you all,
