Thank you all so much for your prayers and well wishes as we get ready to go to Mexico! There is a lot of work involved in getting ready for a trip like this - getting the vehicles ready, planning the journey, getting all the paperwork together, putting all the services together in preparation for my absence; and more mundane tasks such as doing the laundry, packing, getting the dog and cats squared away, and many other things!
I marvel at the technologies that we can incorporate into a trip such as this. Ten years ago, we could not have plotted the route on a computer, made hotel reservations "online", entered the destination into a GPS unit with turn-by-turn directions, or figured out where the next gas station or McDonalds is (apart from watching for the road signs). Cell phones, email, and blogs like this one will help us stay in touch with family and friends while we are gone.
But even with all these technological advances, a more marvelous thought is that a simple face-to-face invitation to a hot, dusty service in the middle of a desert can change a life forever. Born out of a printing press in a basement closet in a church in Milford, Ohio, Bearing Precious Seed Ministries has printed over 45 million Bibles in 42 different languages. We are going to have a small part in that ministry, and because so many of you gave in such a sacrificial and generous way, you will have a part in that ministry, too.
