Midwest Tour

Dave and I just returned from what we fondly call our “Midwest Tour” (Sept. 25 – Oct. 9). After soaking up as much wisdom and advice as possible during our first night at Dave’s parents in Indiana, we made our way to Kansas City to see Kezia. Kezia lives across the street from the International House of Prayer (IHOP) where prayer and worship have continued non-stop (24/7) for more than a decade. It was refreshing to have time to be in the prayer room, joining with 100’s of others in worship and intercession before God. We met for prayer with the staff at Exodus Cry where she works (anti-human trafficking organization), connected with team members who came to Poland this past summer, saw the screening of EC’s documentary “Nefarious,” and experienced significant times of prayer and prophecy.
During the next week we gave updates on our work with Impact Europe to five churches (mission teams) (Mt. Sterling, Taylorville, Bloomington-Normal, Lincoln, and Concord, IL) as well as to several individuals who support us. It was refreshing to be in “farm country,” where hard work, home-cooked food, and hearty hand-shakes are staples of life. On Thursday, we participated in Lincoln Christian University’s internship fair and it’s always encouraging to meet so many inter-cultural majors who are eager to serve overseas. We spent the week at my mom’s in Bloomington and I thought we would have a few days to read, study, write, and prepare for upcoming events – but God arranged meetings daily with people interested in our mission. We believe many important connections were made and we thank God for the spiritual renewal we experienced.
