Travels...

 After just under 8 hours of driving from Michigan, we happily arrive at North Park's mission house. 

During our 11 day trip we visit 8 churches, spending all but one night at the mission house.

Two days we can just hang out and about Cuba, New York, where North Park is located.

So thankful for those who arranged the meetings, feed us, listen, ask questions, and pray over us. 

We well know that without a strong, faithful team we would not still be serving in Haiti at 23 years. 

Thank you!!

Learning experiences and fun mixed in with the travel to partnering churches: history, science, geography, and more...

We were at the Syracuse zoo Saturday to see some of the animals get to experience pumpkins: the tiger rolled his down the hill twice, the camels dumped the grain out from theirs, the elephants enjoyed smashing their giant pumpkin and eating it, while the octopus crawled inside her frozen one (she likes to play with ice cubes and her tank is 42'F). 

Fort Stanwix

Outside church, November 7th, over 300 attended, thankful for sun, warm clothes, wonderful worship. 

Lots of fall colors in some spots and others past peak. 

Fritz's first view of Canada. 

We enjoy the technology that allows us to video and chat. Fritz could join other Global Partner's missionary kids his age on zoom while we were driving down the road!

We also enjoyed connecting with Anna, who's visiting  Egypt this week. 

We zoomed with the Haiti missionary team and had phone calls with employees. While a bit of diesel fuel has shipped into Cap Haitian, the situation continues to worsen. Even a few of the largest hospitals have closed. The border with the Dominican Republic is closed. We pray for our friends and family. Lord please make a way. Protect and provide for Your people. May Your Truth be known and bondage of all kinds be broken. 

Freedom for those held in literal captivity as well as for those suffering physical bondage, spiritual, and emotional. Lord we know You can heal!
