    Thank you for praying concerning my trip from Romania back to the States.  In my section of the plane which would ordinarily seat 90 people, there were only 12 of us.  Not feeling very well from the flu, that was great – because not only I but the others, too, grabbed pillows and stretched out…

    Risking sounding like a broken record, I am thrilled to be back here in ‘the other land that I love’ once again – that the Lord has allowed me to be His hands and feet, eyes and heart among these people whom He planted in my heart seventeen years ago.  I praise God for a…
