Jody called today at about 1:15pm from the plane at Quito. They were preparing for takeoff to Medillin. She said that they only problem they had was that airport security searched Jody’s luggage, something that had happened to Darryl on a previous trip there.
The trip back from Santo Domingo, was uneventful. Jody asked me to [...]

The last stage of community is “Incarnation.” That is to represent the character and nature of the Son. That His nature and purpose are manifest in the community.

Got a call from Jody yesterday morning. She said that the ride down from Quito to Santo Domingo was one of the wildest, if not THE wildest, ride she’s had. She said she was grateful for those of you who were praying the afternoon shift. She needed it.
The time of the conference was a great [...]

Greetings, prayer warriors!
I got a call from Jody this morning, saying that they had been able to rest yesterday and that they were on their way to Santo Domingo. They expect from 200-300 women at the conference. She said that they had both had some intense and unpleasant dreams last night and asked for prayer. [...]

We are in Yonchu’s apt tonight and have had the first ‘easy’ day of the trip. We had decided yesterday not to spend 14 hours driving to two towns and meeting women from another district that are coming to the summit. It was a wise decision on our part because both Yonchu and Daryl had [...]

I am back in Quito tonight and we have had the fullest five days that I can remember. We have been in three of the four regions of Ecuador and spent many hours traveling by air and car to reach all of these destinations. I sp0ke to you last night by skype, and shared with [...]

Thanks for praying for Caleb. He came home and is relatively safe, thanks to your prayers.
He gave me a scare last night because of the articles that have been coming out recently (I posted the Portland Tribune article a few days ago). Living with the consequences of PTSD leaves whole families on edge. This is [...]

First, I need you to pray for Caleb. Like many combat veterans, he struggles with the residue of the war. Please pray for his safety and the influence of PTSD. Warfare often crops up this way when either Jody or I are away for ministry. Please pray for Caleb.
This evening I got a call from [...]

There has been no information from Jody since Sunday morning. I was getting a little concerned (more like curiosity about her silence) so I emailed a missionary contact in Quito. I got back an email. It’s not much, but it’s something. Here is the response:
Hi Dan,
I’ve heard so much about you! Jody and Daryl are [...]

As you may know, Jody isn’t able to use her Blackberry for email communication as she did when whe was In Egypt a couple of weeks ago. Verizon isn’t a very good global provider, only a “sorta global” provider. So, I will probably have to report what I can remember from our infrequent voice contacts.
Jody [...]
