NEW BEGINNING

After 8 different beds, 12 flights and 17 days, I was in our new apartment and my own bed as mid-night approached on Tuesday. I made it from airport to airport, via Vancouver and Seoul in less than 24 hours. Not bad considering flying time involved almost 18 of those hours. Due to strong head winds, the 9&1/2 hour trip from Seoul to Vancouver, took almost 12 hours on the return trip.
It was great to see so many friends in Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto. Special thanks to the couples who hosted me and for all who came out to the arranged gatherings. Although my visits were brief, I hope they encouraged you to keep praying for us and to keep giving to Global Advance which supports us and two hundred other International Workers.
I can't put into words how good it feels to back with Jan after 17 days apart. And we both feel so good about our new beginning in Hanoi. We are delighted to be associated with HIF and all that this fellowshi is doing for the Kingdom . We look forward to great days ahead.
This weekend I will be busy speaking to an HIF men's retreat. Would appreciate your prayer as I am feeling a little over tired and under prepared.
This morning my reading was in Revelation 4 and 5. What wonderful chapters. When we worship here on earth, alone or in a group, we echo what is happening in heaven. We are also warming up and practicing for the time when we get to join that unimaginable eternal choir. Talk about a new beginning. As the old preacher said "Its only hope of dying that has kept me alive this long."
