Preparing

This week and next I will be finishing up and polishing the lessons that I will present to new brothers and sisters in the land of the East as well as teach unbelievers.  I am excited about this trip for several reasons.  One, and most important, is the opportunity to teach teachers - to equip the saints there for the ministry to their own people in their own tongue in their own land.  I ask that you pray for my efforts in this initial teaching, and doubly for theirs  in the spread of the truth to others.  The topics are a wide range of first principle and a deeper topics to challenge and feed them.  A second reason is that I will be going to different places than I went before.  That means I will meet new members of the family as well as have an opportunity to see some different places.  Of course, the downside is that I will not get to see the many friends I made on the first trip.  And the third reason is the person I am going with this time -- a gentle and godly person named Durrell.  He has this work down to a tee as far as logistics is concerned -- now all I have to do is blend in, a task that you who know me is easier said than done. But with God's help, we will go and return safely...
Pray for me while I am gone, pray for my family and especially pray for our efforts there.
