The Carlisle Cyclone strikes again--three years in a row!

12 people from the Greater Grace Church in Carlisle, Pennsylvania came down for a whirlwind 3-conference visit in Guayaquil, Baños, and Quito. Pastor Ray's teaching was particularly life-changing--for us and for people in the church. The rest of the group gifted all of us with encouragement, smiles, help, and love.

Pray with the elders.

I know we're way behind getting this up here, but we were blessed with a wonderful visit from Pastor Jason Moore and the Martinez family: Brian, Esther, and Daniel.
Pastor Jason and Brian had a special time with the elders, held a meeting with the leadership at our house, visited--along with Esther--at the rehab center, and held special meetings at the church. It was an especially refreshing time for us personally and for the church.
