The Night Before

This will be my 18th mission trip with International Commission and the night before is always the same. Packing, packing and more packing. I always feel like I am forgetting the most important thing.

So I have started a checklist that allows me to make the right choices in getting ready for my trip. On top of my list is lying down with my girls and praying with and for them. Mia, my 8 year old is the one that cries every time I leave. AlliRose wants to know what I am bringing her back from my trip and Alexis loves having the car all to herself.

My wife is the best. She takes care of all the details including driving me to airport in the wee hours of the morning. I could not do what God has called me to do if it wasn't for Karen. I am so blessed to have her as a wife, and mother to my children.

My mother-in-law is in town, and she is going to help out for one more week then she will be back in California (we are still trying to get them to move to Texas). She is the best, and she isn't to bad at being a grandma either.

I will be leaving for Georgetown, Guyana and to Paramaribo, Suriname. I covet your prayers as we take the gospel around the world. We will have our big project in July in Guyana and I will be there to train our leaders on how to conduct church to church evangelism. They have a heart to see the lost won to Christ so it makes my job so much eaiser.

Thank you for all your love and support. Will blog again soon!

Peace,
Phil
