Dad Goes Ahead

Appreciation
Thanks for all your prayers, well-wishes and cards regarding my Dad's recent passing away. We were blessed to gather as a family and enjoy quality time with Dad before he went ahead of us to be with Jesus. Dad lived life to the full, met challenges head-on, and insisted on having a good time doing it! He never lost his sense of humor, his love of ice cream, or his heart for serving people.

You might enjoy visiting my sister's blog to see a few photos of dad having a good time. Click Here.

Me and Dad, October 2014

Back At GOMEX
This past week I spent Monday morning (training missionaries) in Manitoba, Tuesday morning in Quebec, Wednesday morning in Texas, Thursday morning in Costa Rica, and Friday morning in Honduras while having lunch in Graham, North Carolina each day.

It's amazing how fast and how far my desk chair can travel with just a video camera and a high-speed internet connection.

The ministries reflected above encompass youth discipleship in Uganda, church planting in Indonesia, radio production & medical administration in Republic of Congo, camp outreach in Costa Rica, and childhood evangelism in Honduras.

Thanks for being part of helping us help these missionaries get to the field through your prayers and gifts on our behalf.

Meanwhile In Belize...
Global's Dental Clinic in Belize is now up and running! Here's a quick summary of our team's first month serving the people of Belize. Thank you Dr. Ugai for leading the team and compiling these initial statistics!

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Glad you got to spend time with him. Mike & I have each lost a parent this year--not necessarily a bad thing after they have lived a long, blessed life. We will continue to pray for you and your family in the days ahead.

So you get your love of ice cream from your dad. Tom's Ice Cream Bowl is calling your name

Hey Terry,

Good to hear from you. I received a lot from my Dad. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers over the past few weeks. Tom's Ice Cream Bowl, INDEED. Dad LOVED going to Tom's during their visits! Have yet to find a "Tom's" down here.
