Wow, we just heard that Joel, Bethany and little Jack will be leaving for Indonesia on April 19th. They have been notified that they have been approved for their visas! Our minds are spinning....
It must be 12,000 miles from here, right. "This little light of mine" comes to mind. Their little lights will shine brightly from a very distant place but they will be close enough to hear the heartbeat and feel the strong protective arm of their Savior.
Remember when Saul of Tarsus was blinded and knocked down by an intense flash of light while traveling to Damascus?
That same awesome Jesus is watching over Indonesia too. He is there already for Joel, Bethany, Jack and the thousands of other servants around the world separated from their families straining to reach the families and folks out there who are dying without even knowing about Jesus.
The sacrifices that missionaries make are real but will be seen as worth it when we look into those dear folk's eyes reflecting the light of Christ.
So kids we love you and will miss you as you follow Jesus, but we someday hope to trace your steps in Indonesia as well as meet those precious folks in heaven that you have helped by "Sharing the Well" of Jesus to the thirsty ones in Indo.
Thanks too, Jon for putting us on to Caedmon's Call.

Did you hear the newest Caedmon's Call cd, the worship one, before you left? It's great!
Sounds like fun Dad... I do like Caedmon's Call, but I'm not sure if it was Bekah or I that got you into it. Regardless, it is good stuff!
