Can it be....

Well it is already December and it feels as Kosovo was a lifetme ago. Upon our return Art went straight to GRACE CAMP and from there school started.. Things have been typically hectic for a new school year Art was tied up with football every friday night through the first week of November. He has been overwhelmed at the school as the kids seem to think that the world is just something that is there to amuse them with no consequences for their actions. I am always amazed that these kids are so privilged compared to other coutries yet its not good enough. I wish they could all could experience what Art and I experienced this summer on our trip. We interacted wth famlies that had lost loved ones in the war, people who have no financial support as they have been out of work for too long. People that desparately need hope in their life that need a relationship with our Father. As we pray that His sovereign hand will move mightly through that land we are humbled by His grace and mercy He shows us daily. He has burdened our hearts with a true love and compassion for these people and pray that He will use us as vessels in His plan for this country. Our desire is to reach as many people stateside as possible enlightening them to the needs in Kosovo. We pray daily that by sharing wth those we encounter that it will spark a passion in them for this country.

Please pray for Art and I as we hope Lord willing to attend candate training this summer in PA to prepare for our one year trip to Kosovo. Pray for the Long term team that it is there now at what is the beginning of a long cold winter. Pray that they will be focused on the task that the Lord has set before them that the bitter cold will not squash the fire in their hearts for His word.

May the Lord bless you all this season of the birth of His son.
