That’s what this past weekend was — a wild ride! There was just so much going on. The biggest event, of course, was Sunday’s Vision Update. I was very gratified to get a good deal of positive input from many of you. There was a great spirit of anticipation, excitement and just the sense that God was really doing somethind during the service Sunday. We’ve been traveling this path a long time and to think of an October groundbreaking is thrilling! Just in case you couldn’t make it, don’t forget to catch it on the web at www.kcbt.org.

Adding to the wildness were the events surrounding Mark and Cathy McGaughey’s departure for Jacksonville. Though we will surely miss them, we are genuinely excited about the new opportunities that await them there and the chance to continue to partner together. So, when I think about a wild ride this weekend, I don’t mean to whine. When I think about Mark and Cathy packing up to move halfway across the country, anything in my life is minor in comparison.
I did come home exhausted last night, but had no time to regenerate this time, because today I am on my way to Argentina. This is a LONG trip and I appreciate your prayers. We left Kansas City about 45 minutes late, flew around Houston for a while before landing and then got in well over a hour late. So, I am writing this in the airport and don’t have much time. Forgive me if this in not a literary masterpiece. From Houston it will be 11 to 12 hours to get to Buenos Aires. There, I have to change airports from one side of this giant city to the other. Then more flying for an hour or two to the city of Cordoba.

Perhaps you remember that I spoke at a missions event here last year for young people from all over the southern cone of South America. It was fabulous! The group that sponsors this is composed of a multicultural team primarily composed of Germans and Latin Americans. They have asked me to come and minister to them at their leadership retreat this week and I am very much looking forward to it. Once I get to Cordoba I will speak to their full time staff for a couple of days and then we drive to a retreat center to be joined by other workers and volunteers from the various countries of southern South America. Did you know South America was so far away? Makes a trip to Europe look easy!

I would love to invite you to come with me on this wild ride. Here’s the problem. I am not sure if I will be able to have access to the Internet. It’s Monday evening as I write this and I may have access tomorrow night when I spend the night in Cordoba at the host missionary’s home. But, from then on I am just not sure what to expect. All I know for certain is that I will be back in Buenos Aires late Sunday night. I have very important meetings Monday and Tuesday I will tell you about later, then I will leave to come home Tuesday night and get home sometime Wednesday morning of next week. So, if you don’t see a post in the next couple of days, keep checking, I will be back!
