A New Beginning in the New Year
The New Year is a time for people to have a new beginning and we are no exception. We have some wonderful news and wanted to share it with you.
Yes, we are still going to Peru and continue to be excited to see how God is working out all the details. One of those details He is working out is to allow us to go to the field serving our Heavenly Father as independent missionaries. We will have our home church Bridgeway as our covering/oversight and are going to Peru with their blessing. Our ministry plan and financial support has been approved by Bridgeway. Our Pastor, elders, and mission board are fully supporting us! Praise God for His hand on us during this time of transition and for providing a way for us to follow Him!
Because of our close association with New Covenant Ministries and specifically Bruce Carter, we did have a meeting with Bruce Carter to share our heart and our leading of the Lord. We have a long-term friendship and close working relationship with Bruce and he was understanding, respectful and accepting of our decision. We have also notified the Board of Directors of NCM our resignation.
We continue to feel burdened to work in the sector churches establishing AWANA clubs, assisting them in becoming self-sufficient, researching cottage-industry type opportunities for the women of Pat's Place and the teens of Hope House and assisting in workshops, conferences for teaching lay ministry to the Peruvian Christians in an effort to bring the Christians in the sector churches to a more mature desire to support the individual pastors. Bruce said he would share his agreement with this arrangement with Pastor Gino Benvenutto, the Senior Pastor of the sector churches we work with in Peru.
Your partnership in this ministry is as important now as it has ever been. We would not be able to serve our Lord in Peru without your support. To allow you to continue to make tax deductible contributions to our ministry, Bridgeway Church has set up account to accept donations and you can start using it immediately. Please make checks to: Bridgeway Church. Please mark in the memo section: TEAM Missions In Peru. The mailing address: Bridgeway Church, 4755 Kimball Bridge Road, Alpharetta, GA 30005.
We covet your prayers as we embark on this endeavor. To read about our “Journey with Jesus here in Duluth and there in Peru”, check out TEAMissionsinperu.blogspot.com. To receive our emailed newsletter, please be sure to keep us updated when you make changes and feel free to help us share the work of the Lord in Peru by adding your friends to our email contact list. We consider you part of our TEAM and we cannot fulfill the purpose we are called to without your help. You – our prayer and financial supporters are the best!

Journal Entry #7 - The BIG Event
Life: an adventure, a journey with Jesus!
The BIG Event
Another leg of the journey is complete! We have seen Jesus in new ways during this past six months. He orders our steps. We have many God stories to share. Let me share one with you.
As adults, if we see life through a child’s eyes, it’s so much more exciting. Imagine the dreams children have on Christmas Eve. Think about the night before you left for overnight summer camp. Remember trying to sleep knowing you were taking your first airplane trip the next day or getting your drivers’ license. Maybe the memories include grandparents coming to visit, your wedding, birth of a child, your pending baptism, purchase of a home. In each of these cases, there was a lot of planning that went into the big event. The fun began long before the big event. There was great anticipation and the big event was yet to commence! Sometimes similar things may have transpired, but they were not quite the same as the big event would be.
We have been praying, seeking counsel of godly men, confiding in a few dear friends, praying, planning, researching, praying, taking appropriate steps, and, yes, even dreaming about the big event! Oh, and did I say that we have been praying about the big event? More than you can imagine! At this point in time, those of you who have been on our journey with us, are thinking……the big event is right around the corner. It’s coming. Quickly. February 4th, to be exact. WRONG!
You see, the big event was yesterday, January 18, 2009. It was the culmination of six months of our thoughts, plans, efforts and prayers. It was the culmination of God’s plan and purpose for us during this season of our lives. Our Pastor, Douglas Turner, and the elders of Bridgeway Church commissioned us to the work of the Lord in Peru. This was patterned after the commandment of the Lord to Moses to take Joshua before the priest and the entire assembly, and in Numbers 27:23 it says “Then he (the priest) laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the Lord instructed through Moses.” You see, Bridgeway Church, our family, friends and fellowship of believers witnessed and participated in acknowledging their support of us as we “do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10)
Some big events come and go. Once they arrive, within hours they are done and over with. Not this one. It can be considered the end and the beginning at the same time; the end of a time of preparation and the beginning of the work, the next leg of the journey. It could be said, “we’ve come a long way baby” and yet it can also be said “we’ve only just begun”.
The following was prepared and shared with our many prayer and financial supporters.

Journal Entry #6 - Prayer
Life: an adventure, a journey with Jesus!
Prayer
Prayer according to Webster’s dictionary is “The act of communicating with a deity (especially as a petition or in adoration or contrition or thanksgiving).” We simply teach our children that prayer is “talking with God”. But we also know from reading the Bible that “the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
Another leg of the journey is complete! We have friends praying for us. Some have chosen to be partners in prayer, others wish us well and share that they are praying for us, still others think that’s the right thing to say.
Early in January as we said good bye to some square dancing friends, and they assured us they would be praying for us, we couldn’t help but think how some of them still need to know the Lord and the prayer He desires to hear from them is the sinner’s prayer of confession before they can partner in prayer for us.
We know that prayer is essential to our ministry. In fact, it’s essential to any and all ministries. This should go without saying. It’s a fact. It’s scriptural. It’s undeniable. So, why do we not pray without ceasing? We cannot do what we are called to do if we don’t pray. Not only that, we need to have people praying for us. (That’s where you come into the picture.) And, in turn, we need to be praying, specifically, intelligently, with fervor, for others.
Prayer partners are invaluable. They intercede on our behalf and pray for us when we don’t even know it, but we feel it, and we come to realize later that a struggle, concern, or dilemma that we were dealing with is resolved when we least expect it. We don’t always know how to pray. We don’t always know what to pray. We don’t always pray. But having prayer partners assures that at the right time, when we need it most (and may not even realize it) someone will be praying and interceding for us.
Recently on Facebook I re-connected with a couple of friends and I want to share their comments with you.
The first is a young man who grew up with our own girls in Sunday School and Youth Group years ago. When he heard of our relocation plans and call to serve our Father in Peru, his immediate response was that he would share it with his listeners. Now, who listens to him besides his wife, children and a few close friends? Over 500,000 people because David is a deejay on a Christian radio broadcast in California!
And the other is a pastor’s wife from northwest Georgia. She and I worked together a number of years ago and found we had mutual friends in New York and New England. Her husband even attended Camp Berea, a camp very near and dear to us, and one that I grew up attending. Since we are thinking about prayer partners, I know you have come to the conclusion that this friend said she would pray for us. But that’s not all, Eileen said their little church congregation was praying for us already!
The fact is we need an army of 1, or 1,000 or more praying for us and that army will come from you and others like you; from the highways (thousands via the airwaves) and the byways (half a dozen or so from a little church). We need you now more than ever to be there, in prayer for us.
I think of the artwork done by Ken Shaw hanging in the Prayer Room of Bridgeway Church. It is a painting of Moses sitting on a stone, because he was tired. But there, holding up his arms/hands, are Aaron and Hur, one on each side of him. Exodus 17:12. That painting depicts us, tired. Sometimes weary from seeking answers; often contemplating our next steps. We need to make wise choices, to have discernment and wisdom from the Lord. We want to honor Him who loves us. (Galatians 2:20 I/we have been crucified with Christ and I/we no longer live, but Christ lives in me/us. The life I/we live in the body, I/we live by faith in the Son of God who loved me/us and gave himself for me/us.) Then in 2 Thessalonians 2:16 we read not only of His love for us, but His grace gives us eternal encouragement and good hope.
Simply put, we have one request of you, please pray for us!

Journal Entry #5 - Yard work out of control!
Life: an adventure, a journey with Jesus!
Yard Work – Out of Control
Another leg of the journey is complete! We have seen Jesus in new ways during this week – specifically today 01/10/08. He orchestrates the paths we take, our steps. He does, if we let Him. We have many God stories to share. Let me share one with you.
Yard work out of control! UGH! We had an agreement when we lived in New Hampshire --everyone in the household helped with the outdoor work including gardening, mowing and snow shoveling. We had an agreement when we moved to Georgia -- Joy would shovel all the snow and Don would mow all the grass. We forgot to consider the beautiful tree-lined street and lovely shady yard would provide inches of leaves to be raked every fall and it wasn’t a favorite pastime for either of us. The grandchildren love to rake the leaves into piles and jump in them, but getting them to rake them to the perimeter of the yard along the fence line was a different story. Actually it was an impossibility!
This year was no different. The yard work was out of control. The leaves completely covered every square inch of grass (and, of course, we enjoy a rather large yard) and it had rained, rained, and rained some more. Because of the recent drought the rain was needed and appreciated. Because of the recent rain, the leaves remained wet. Because the leaves remained wet, they just remained! Our neighborhood is not a subdivision with rules and regulations and many of the yards are “natural” in appearance, but still maintained. Ours tends to be a little more natural than the others.
However, it is January and we are packing it in and leaving for Peru and one major task before us is to get the yard raked. Time is running out. Guess what. Be on the watch. God is at work. Did you know there were such beings as “yard angels”? There are. We are believers! An answer to our dilemma came when a man rang our front door bell and asked if he could rake the leaves and do some yard work for us. He and his son have a yard maintenance business and he was looking for a job. Don explained that we were leaving for Peru as full-time missionaries, so our funds were limited, but fully acknowledged our yard needed attention. The man offered to rake the yard at a price we could name. Don insisted he name his price. No, the man said he would do it for whatever we could afford to pay him. In the exchange of words that followed, we learned he is born-again and attends a mega church locally. He praised the Lord for the opportunity to meet us and for providing him with a way to serve someone in the family of God. Don knew we could come up with $50 so he made an offer, knowing the man would not accept the offer. He did! He wanted to do this at our price as unto the Lord.
He left. He returned. He prepared himself to work. And, work he did! Picking up branches and limbs from the large, old stately trees towering over our property, which had fallen during the recent wind storms provided him with more exercise that he anticipated. Blowing the leaves from the six gardens, the many shrubs surrounding the house, and the deck and two patios was the beginning of the relocation of leaves that was necessary! He raked, and filled his tarp with leaves time and again. Pulling them to the fence line which gives a natural looking, mulched area challenged him. He worked diligently until dusk. He continued during a light rain. He didn’t stop even into the dark as the yard flood lights provided him enough visibility to finish the front yard, one side yard, and get through a section of the back yard. He was determined, committed and obviously a hard worker with a goal in mind. He wanted to get the job done. He wanted to keep his word. He wanted to finish the task before the drizzle turned into a downpour. A wise man, I would say; a man who honors the Lord in his word and in his work. The job we hated to face, was completed by one who wanted to do it, at a fee we could afford, and we have gained a prayer partner in the ministry of building the Kingdom of God.
Now coming up with the $50 was a challenge Don and I were faced with. We just knew God would provide. During the afternoon, while the yard angel worked away with a smile on his face, a friend stopped by to visit. The man greeted her with a warm good afternoon and a wide grin. She even commented on the pleasant man raking our leaves. We spent about 45 minutes together and before she left, she asked if she could purchase an English Delft hot chocolate pot that we had for sale in one of the estate sales. It was sitting on a display shelf in the kitchen, still with the price tag on it from the sale. She paid us cash and was delighted with her treasure. We were thrilled to have received the ticketed price of $65 and knew we could bless our yard angel with a little more than he agreed to work for! God is good!
In summary:
We have made a new friend who will pray for us.
We have a friend who has a piece of our china who will think about us.
The yard is cleaned up for the family who will be moving in soon.
Dipping into our bank account was not necessary.
We are blessed and as was said a moment ago, God is good!
