In The Land of Maple Syrup: February 19-24

Thank you for your prayers these past couple weeks! They were all answered in the most amazing ways. Because of your prayerful involvement: 

• we had UNBELIEVABLE weather in PA & Canada, enjoyed safe travel, and made multiple border crossings without incident
• we all enjoyed good health at Candidate Orientation as the fourteen of us lived, learned, and worked in close proximity for a week
• our times of devotion and teaching were TOTALLY graced by God
• and, through The Spirit's power, we believe we accomplished our goals and modeled our core HR values in orienting Global's next wave of missionaries for effective field service.

Here's a snapshot of me and Karen as we led one of our workshops.
