We are finishing our summer camping schedule with one last church leaving this evening to go back to Santiago. So what is next for our family and ministry? Well, we are making plans. In November last year we finished our third year of being in Chile. We are due for a furlough and what better time to schedule it than during our winter months, when there is the least activity on camp. We recently bought our tickets and will be returning to the States on April 19th for a 4 month furlough or home assignment.
Terry and Carol Thompson have kindly accepted to fill in for us while we are gone. They will continue the preaching and teaching ministry in the Liquiñe and Coñaripe churches and will also take care of Lican Bible Camp in our absence. I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers in this transition to our home and ministries.
So how does one plan a furlough? We didn't quite know to be honest but the easiest was to grab the calendar and a United States map and start planning our numerous trips. We will fly in to FL and make our way north to Pennsylvania. From there we visit family and friends and end up at our home base in Washington State. We will be traveling many miles in one of the mission's vans. We are contacting our churches and confirming our visit with each and every one of them. We would also LOVE to see as many of our individual supporters as possible while we are back on home assignment. Thank you for praying as we schedule all these meetings.
More to come in future blogs on our furlough preparations.
