Great Week plus headed to Atlanta

We've had a great week. Nancy has been catching up on administrative tasks, plus making jewelry for friends. We had a fun gathering with our monthly fellowship group Saturday night and were enriched by the laughter and sharing. Sunday evening John and Tara came over to have a belated birthday celebration (pictures above) and we had a blast. Dan's schoolwork this week has been very helpful. This morning, for example, in his Gospel of Mark class he learned a lot about how to appropriately interpret Chapter 13 of Mark, and gained a lot of insight not only about that chapter but also about how to more deeply engage the Biblical text. Tomorrow we head down to Atlanta for the support-raising dinner for the Wesleyan Seminary of Venezuela. It will be a quick turn-around trip. We have to come back on Saturday after attending a wedding, because Dan is preaching in the Nicholasville UMC Sunday morning (Global Jesus). Nancy continues working on her Spiritual Warfare project. She is completing her reading and sketching out a tentative outline for a course that we will teach together in Venezuela at some point in the future. We are grateful for God's grace in our lives during this time of ministry and learning. Thank you for your love and friendship and support. Many Blessings, Dan and Nancy
