Subject: Last E-Mail from Russia
Hey Everybody,
Well, in all likelyhood, this will be our last
E-mail from mother Russia. We finish up tomorrow morning and then have our farewell party tomorrow evening. We'll say our farewells and then Debbie and I are off the following morning, bright and early. Well, maybe not so bright, but certainly early. We get up at 3 AM and have to be at the airport at 5 AM our flight departs at 7:40 AM and we don't get into SFO til 9:35 PM July 8th. We have 2 hours in Munich and 4 hours in Boston. We will go through customs in Boston and will arrive in SFO, via UA-181 (United Airlines) {Domestic}
Tomorrow morning we will say our goodbyes (final prayer time) from on top of the hill behind the hospital. This has been the tradition since the beginning. We begin and end in this fashion.
We have seen many lives changed, both theirs and ours, we will never quite be the same. For the first time in 7 trips, I feel a confidance that the Russion people will be able to carry on in this vital ministry. Our Lord is so faithful.
In conclusion, I wish to express our appreciation and gratitude for the many prayers that have been lifted up in our names, and for the many of you who have been part of our financial support team.
May God bless each and every one of you
In HIS grip
