Please keep the Colson family in your prayers at this time. They are veteranmissionaries serving in Chuuk. The Lord protected them and their radio towers, butthey have much work to do as they help the people of the island. Also, please bepraying for Grace International Baptist Church, the church with which we will beworking. We know that they are well, but we still wish we were with them.

We know that everything is in God's timing, but we also know that He has called usto actually be in Chuuk working. This incident just reminds us of our burden andcalling to be there.

God is always good, perfect, and wise. We are excited to be serving Him while weare on our way to Chuuk. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Thisministry is not possible without the body of Christ. We are grateful for you. Keep youreyes on Him as you serve in your own mission field.
