Packing, Prep for Cincinnati, Charleston, Georgia

Dan has now completed field research in 6 churches. He will engage in research next week with a church in Cincinnati. The following weekend, we will drive a truck to Athens with some of our belongings that John and Tara will be using during our year in Venezuela. From Athens we drive to Charleston for research with an Anglican congregation, then back to Georgia for research with a UMC congregation. This will be followed by attendance at the North Georgia Annual Conference, then possibly some research with another congregation, in Decatur. We're still working on those arrangements. Nancy has just returned from a week-long Be in Health event, which she thoroughly enjoyed. In the midst of all our travels, we are also trying to get things sorted out, packed, and details ironed out for our year-long ministry time in Venezuela beginning in August. Thank you for your continued prayers. Please especially pray for wisdom, strength, and patience, as we deal with a multiplicy of tasks. Much Love, Dan and Nancy

Please continue to pray for safe and Christ-glorifying travels. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
