Pete calls them God sightings! We had made a detailed list of the numerous God sightings experienced in Ecuador. For us, the mission started well before we left Vineland. As a couple, we continue to receive as God changed our hearts through sharing in this experience together. As a result of living with our loving host family & being with an incredible mission team, our journey continues as we listen to God to open our home & hearts for others to receive like we did. We have very limited space in our home for guests but God does not limit our territory. After praying about taking in youths from Australia, God spoke a clear “yes” to us. We trust He will take care of the minor details such as room by November. We have been blessed by a broadened view of mission! We recommend couples “go together” as it really is not about what we do, but what He wants to do IN us! Dios es grande!

Last Saturday Chris & Sherri Denelsbeck along with their son Chris and Jay & Jo Marie Bishop went to Camden to hang out with their friends at Transition Park (formerly known as “Tent City”). They went with no agenda, no fanfare. They didn’t ask permission or wait for an organized trip. They just went.

Here is something Patrice Fennon did for me and one of my soldiers while in Iraq. Patrice wanted her Sunday School class to encourage the heart of a soldier that might have needs, and God had put a particular soldier right in my path and heart. So Patrice and the children sent several encouraging cards and packages, and prayed for this young man. We had a good relationship, and this soldier was clearly becoming more and more interested in Christ. In early December, we really got into the gospel in a conversation in my office and he accepted Christ, despite having many difficult things going on with his family at home. In January, this soldier was baptized. He also continued to express his thanks to Patrice. Of course what she did was simple, but praise God it was used dynamically. Tim Sastic

My wife and I want to strongly recommend to parents of teens to, whenever you can, go on mission together. Laurie and I have had two opportunities to go on mission trips with our son. It is such a blessing to serve side by side with them and experience how your hearts responds to God as you minister to others. When they talk about what they did, you saw it. When they say God spoke to their hearts, you heard His voice too. And when you see the change God has made in their lives and in yours–that’s priceless! Frank, Laurie and Christopher Geremia
