Stephen is off to Guatemala

Guatemala is a long way from here. I am more aware of that today as my youngest son, Stephen is headed that way as I write this. We dropped him off at 12Stone church at 5:45am and they are flying down today for a week of service and opportunity. I am sure he will be changed more than the Guatemalans might be changed but I have to say it is changing me too. I have traveled a lot outside our borders and I know how it feels but he does not. I am excited to hear what he has to say when he gets back.

I am proud of him for his willingness to go on a trip like this rather than one to the beach or to just hang out. He is doing something that God has led him to do and I am pleased he is listening. At 17 that is an awesome feat.

Please pray for him (and for Mom and me) while he is off on this trip. Pray for the team and their safety but also for God’s hand to be present on them as He blesses them. Pray for God’s favor on all of them. I believe that they are seeking to be about what God is blessing. That is the best any of us can do. Ask God what he is going to bless and then go there. You will be blessed in the effort.

Thanks for your time.
