WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!

Hello from warm and sunny Berkovitsa. The team has arrived safely with the exception of Rachel and Tom who are on their way from Chicago. Rachel had a small mishap in Chicago and injured her finger. The airline required her to go to the emergency room for treatment. Meanwhile she and Tom missed the flight to Munich. She is doing well and we expect them to arrive safely tomorrow. Please keep our team , the orphans, the Ridgeways, and the congregation of Rakovitsa(gypsy church) in your prayers. Thank you FUMC for giving us this opportunity to serve our Lord with gladness. All praise be to God.

I will pray that Rachel and Tom meet with the group soon. I am glad the rest of you made it there safely. I look forward to seeing the updates.

swerThanking God for your safe arrival. Know that all of you are wrapped up in prayers by so many folks you will likely never meet this side of Heaven! Hope the church service is a blessing to you, as I am sure your presence will be to them.
God bless, and special hugs to Emily!

Praise the Lord that you have made it. I know that you have already been blessed during your short time there. Melissa and I are praying for all of you.

Happy Mothers Day, Mom. I love you. I talked to Dad and Rachel today. They are doing good. I emailed you the details of their travels. I know you miss them, and are worried. But they will be there very soon.

Know that we are thinking and praying for you and your work.

Mom started the morning off talking about you going to the gypsy village. We heard about Rachel's mishap at Office Max this morning! It's a small town!
Praying the rest of your trip is less eventful!
