Dan had a great week last week teaching in Venezuela, and Nancy's week at the prayer event in Black Mountain, North Carolina was inspiring, edifying, and healing. 41 students were in Dan's Theology of Evangelism class, and they worked really hard engaging the different Biblical perspectives on evangelism. Nancy served as one of the members of a prayer ministry team which prayed for people with different healing needs, and she witnessed the healing power of God's love throughout the week. Thanks for your continued prayers for us as we seek to follow God's call in our lives. Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Arrived Safely in Venezuela
A quick note to let everyone know that Dan arrived safely in Venezuela. Today (Saturday) he will be driven to Barquisimeto (5-hour drive), where he will attend pastor Antonio Toloza's church tomorrow and then teach Theology of Evangelism this week at the Wesleyan Seminary of Venezuela. Nancy is visiting friends in the Atlanta area until she drives to North Carolina on Monday for her prayer ministry event. Thank you for your prayers and support. We deeply appreciate your partnership with us in God's ministry to reach lost people and spread the good news of the Abundant/Love-Filled Life that God desires for each of us. Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Pray for our Upcoming Travels
Please remember to pray for us in our upcoming travels. Dan flies to Venezuela tomorrow (Friday) to spend 3 weeks teaching, preaching, and doing dissertation-related research. Nancy will be participating in two separate events during that time, one focused on prayer ministry and the other on spiritual life. Please ask God to grant us protection and to help us be used to bring lost people to Jesus and glory to God. Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Virginia, Cumming, Snellville, Athens
Since our last post - we drove to the Roanoke Valley area of Virginia to visit with some of Dan's family on his mother's side. In particular we wanted to visit with 2 of his aunts, one of whom is 93 and the other 85 (pictured above). We thoroughly enjoyed our time with aunts and cousins. From there we drove to Athens, Georgia, where we spent a couple days with our friends Kent and Sandy. We enjoyed some rich fellowship and prayer together. We then travelled to Cumming, Georgia, where we stayed with our friends Virgil and Jo. In addition to visiting with them, we also sat with Jane Lathem and many other friends while Warren was having surgery. Warren is most likely going to go home from the hospital tomorrow. Our next stop was Snellville, Georgia, where we spent the past weekend with our Venezuelan friends Efrain and Bethsaida. Dan preached in Spanish at their congregation on Sunday. Sunday evening we drove back to Athens. The Annual Conference of North Georgia is meeting this week in Athens, plus John and Tara moved to Athens this weekend from Wilmore. We're having fun helping them with painting and unpacking, while also attending annual conference sessions. Friday Dan flies to Venezuela to teach in the Seminary (all next week - Theology of Evangelism), while Nancy drives to Black Mountain, North Carolina to participate in a week-long event as a prayer team minister. Thank you for your continued prayers and your love. Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Course Development and Upcoming Trip
We've had a busy week. Dan has been working diligently on the development of a Theology of Evangelism course to teach in Venezuela June 22-26. In addition to the difficulty in choosing which material to include and how to help the students engage the material, he has had to work back and forth between Spanish and English. He has written a Spanish-language note-taking handout (26 pages), plus a combination Spanish/English teaching manual (45 pages). Nancy has writing reading reports on some of the texts related to her year-long advanced course on Prayer and Healing, plus getting a lot of our household affairs in order for us to be gone so long on our upcoming trip. We will leave on Friday. We will be traveling to Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Venezuela, and Costa Rica. Thank you for your financial support that makes it possible for us to offer ourselves to the Lord's ministry in the States and in Latin America. Thank you for your prayer support that provides wisdom, protection, and encouragement. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
