Stepping through the Wardrobe
We are officially stepping through the wardrobe. The girls will come out on the other side thinking, “We aren’t in Kansas anymore.” What an adventure they are in for!
As we stop in Dallas for our two hour layover to Lima, I wanted to give you a quick update. Last week God saw favor in two areas:
(1) I’m now officially a missionary of Grace Presbytery! At the last stated meeting of Grace Presbytery last Tuesday, the brethren saw fit to pass my oversight plan with Christian Missionary Society. I could not be happier to represent the Lord Jesus Christ and Grace Presbytery in Peru.
(2) We now have our visas. Immediately after presbytery, we flew to Miami. We needed to pickup our residential visas at the Peruvian Consulate. As a bonus, God gave us a free five star hotel in Miami. The hotel we originally reserved over booked, so they put us up at the very nice Intercontinental Hotel across town. 
Since it only took one day to get our visas, we rested the second day in Miami. We stopped by the Biltmore and enjoyed touring its grounds.Now we are literally hours away from arriving in the land of our calling. Next week is General Assembly for the Iglesia Evangélica Presbiteriana del Perú. There we will meet all the minsters with whom we will be labor together. We cannot believe we are almost there! I guess I’ll need to change the name of our blog.
Thanks again for your prayers!

You guys are in my prayers. I know that God is going to use you all in great and mighty ways (HE already has!).
