Last Meeting of Our Furlough

Kim and I are in Oklahoma City at our home Church. We just got the itinerary for the Missions Conference this week and we are excited. The theme is "The Field is the World."

We met our Pastor in the hallway today and he is very excited about the Missions Conference. Having been a Missionary for several years he has a great heart for Missionaries. He has been a blessing to us.

During the week we will hear a lot of good preaching from Ed Johnson and we will get to see several fields presented.

Friday morning our Church is taking the Missionaries to hear Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber). 

Joe the Plumber

He is now running for Congress in Ohio. Maybe we ought to run him for President this year!




All the Missionaries will get a chance to talk with the young people at the Christian School and the OBC students. Pray that these young folks will get a vision and a heart for Missions.

Ecuador Bound

Kim and I are headed back to Ecuador. We have to make a trip to the Ecuadorian Consolate to get our Visas. Our last meeting is at our home Church and then we will leave a week and a half after that.

We have been in contact with the couple who has gone on to our new city. The great blessing of this is there is already a small group of people waiting for us to come. We have already received a picture of them and it looks like a good group.

Our big need is a car, so please pray that God will supply one in a speedy manner. We gave our car to one of the National Pastors that we help out. He has been using it to haul Preacher Boys around and out soul-winning.

We will be looking for a house to rent and some furniture. We gave some of our furniture to young Pastor who just got married. Fortunately we kept our living room furniture and dining room table.

We are very busy getting ready to head back to Ecuador, but in those few minutes of downtime at night, we bask in the memories of what God has done and the victories we have gained in his strength and for his glory.

Badges & Boots Donations

 Please think about donating to Badges & Boots. All donations are for the tracts and mailing them. We have shipped out several thousand of them; from the east coast to the west coast.
We sure could use your help as we get these tracts into the hands of Soldiers, Veterans, Police and other First Responders.

There is a donation button in the upper right hand of our sight or you can send a check to:

Visas

Our Visa paperwork. Half of it gets done in the States and half gets done in Ecuador. We have one more piece of paperwork to obtain here and then it is a waiting game as we wait on the paperwork from Ecuador.

We should have the Ecuador paperwork here within the next two weeks. Then when we finish our last conference we can get our tickets and take off.

Pray that everything will go smoothly. It is easier for us to deal with the Ecuadorian consulate in Houston and they normally give us a 2 year visa.

Tracts

Our Badges & Boots USA tracts are catching on. I just delivered a thousand to another Missionary who will be sending them to a Church near a Military Base.

Lord willing I will be delivering several thousand to a Church near Fort Hood before we leave for Ecuador. I also need to talk with a Police Officer in the area.

A church in New York City wants 2,000 more of the tracts. They have all kinds of opportunities there with the high level of security surrounding the city.

I am in the middle of designing a Badges & Boots tract for an African country. This is a special request from a Missionary. I should have it done in a week or two.
