Dominican Republic Update

Here's a quick look at our itinerary today:

4:00AM—woke up
4:30AM—Mike/Linda Fourman pick me up for airport
7:00AM—Dayton to Georgia flight
10:30AM—Original departure time for Santo Domingo
1:00PM—Adjusted departure time for Santo Domingo
2:30PM—Revised Adjusted departure time for Santo Domingo
3:50PM—Actual departure time for Santo Domingo
6:45PM--Arrived in Santo Domingo

It was all worth it though, just to see the smile on Bob and Ana's faces as we came down the terminal.

While the airport dilemma creates a bit of a frustration (fuel line leak), it really is amazing that God has granted man the ability to fling a giant scrap of metal in the air and keep it up there. We know, it is not really the aviation mechanics, but it is Christ Himself who holds all things together and allows us to defy gravity and make up lost time. Imagine the length of this trip if I had to ride in a vehicle to Florida, only to board a ship and head for the the Dominican. It really is quite incredible that I was in Greenville yesterday morning and will be preaching this Sunday at home again (Lord willing).

If you'd like to pray for the trip I can give a little more of the detail:

Tomorrow--riding around with Bob and Mike and seeing much of the ministry
Wednesday--teaching the Timothy class (I am SOOOOOOOO looking forward to this!
Thursday--Preaching in a church
Friday--Preaching in a new church plant
Saturday--heading home

Of course, all of this schedule is really in the Lord's hands.
