An early morning flight took me to Philadelphia and from there I drove the hour and a half to Reading, PA. Many of you remember Steve and Beth C who were with us for our Bible Conference last Fall. Steve is the International Director/President of Christar and I have the joy of staying in their home tonight and tomorrow.

I have written about Christar on multiple occasions, an agency that specializes in spreading God’s transforming love among those who come from Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim backgrounds. Being around this wonderful group of people is a blessing, and I have the honor to be on both the international and US boards. We will have the international meeting tomorrow and the US meeting Saturday.

This is the next to the last time I will be here for a board meeting, because we have just purchased a building the Dallas area. Texas is the state where more Christar workers are from that any other. It is a key source of support and recruiting, and also offers the opportunity to be accessible for all parts of the country. The international airport is great, and the cost of living is very reasonable compared to the coasts. It will certainly make things more convenient for me to attend meetings, but pray for the many people who are moving across the country. You can imagine that this is a major challenge to each and every one of them. Some are excited because they are from that area. Others are wondering what they are going to find, having never lived in the middle of the country. God’s grace has been apparent in the sale of some of their homes here, but there is so much more to do. The goal is for everyone to be in place sometime this Fall. This is a major operation!

Speaking of prayer, thanks to those of you who have prayed for Cheryl and asked about her. She is doing better, though still weak. I spoke with her twice today and she seems so much better even from yesterday.
