I had quite the journey from Bad Nauheim, Germany to Wake Forest, North Carolina. Because of my many travel delays and the increased time around a few people I was able to begin a friendship with a man who does not yet follow Jesus.

Please pray for my new friend. I plan to keep in touch with him.

I’m glad to be home with my wife, my small group, my church, my friends, and my work. Pray for me that I will enjoy all these in a godly way but that I will be willing to have God break me out of comfort and complacency whenever he sees fit. More than anything I want God to be glorified and the good news to be demonstrated and told and believed.

At 2:15 AM in Frankfurt my alarm woke me up to get ready for our taxi. Since then I have ridden a shuttle van, two planes, a bus and a train. I’m in the Newark, NJ airport sitting at my departure gate because . . .

The flight to RDU has been delayed two hours (so far).

I had some time to walk around the town of Bad Nauheim. Even though the bride of Christ is alive in Germany and Europe she needs your prayers. To be honest, the church in the USA needs prayer also.

The last 24 hours have been full of God working in me and working through me.

God worked in me through allowing me to hear Jon Burns speak this morning to a small group of us on several of the service teams. I need to pray and talk with my wife and my friends about what I heard and how I respond. I ask you to ask yourself “Am I Interruptible by God?”, which is what Jon asked us.

God worked through me as I helped repair several computers. Thanks to your generous donations I was able to give away some portable drives to missionaries that needed them.

God also worked through me to pray in person right then for several different missionaries involved in difficult places of ministry.

Once again I’m grateful for your prayers.

Today I was reminded that God is working much more than we realize at any moment.

Just before I left for Germany someone came forward at my church for prayer. She wanted prayer for someone that lives in Frankfurt. I prayed for her and then told her I was going to Bad Nauheim, near Frankfurt in two days from that time.

Since my flight from RDU was delayed I missed my original flight to Germany. This prevented my original plan to invite the person to a church in Frankfurt.

I was discouraged about that and wondering what to do. Today I was reviewing with a missionary what we did to improve her computer and I asked where she served. She said in Frankfurt. Wow!

I told her the story and contacted the original person at my church that came forward for prayer. After exchanging contact information the missionary plans to follow up with the person in Frankfurt.

The missionary and I prayed together for the person in Frankfurt. We rejoiced together that God was working more than we realized.

Please pray for the missionary to be able to follow up with the young person in Frankfurt.

Please pray for the young person in Frankfurt that God would protect her from the evil one and she would be open to meeting with the missionary and getting discipled in a good church.

I’m writing this in the afternoon and we are using the Mark 5 Ministries process to clean up and improve computers and tablets and smartphones for GEM missionaries.

I’m exhausted. But content. I felt extremely cared for today. People texted me they are praying. Friends back home are showing love to Angel. GEM folks and M5M have gone the extra mile to encourage me today.

I had a great sharing and praying time with John. He prayed fervently for me and for Angel. I prayed for him and his family.

I met Stanley at the evening meal. I prayed for him and his family as they continue to plant a church in France.

I helped one missionary with an issue using an app on her phone and I helped another missionary with his macOS laptop. I look forward to tomorrow.

I did arrive in Frankfurt this morning and the Lufthansa flight was right on time. I had nobody sitting next to me so I got plenty of sleep on the flight.

After wearing the same clothes while traveling for two days, I found a men’s room and changed clothes. I had a bratwurst for breakfast and it was very good.

I’m waiting at the Treffpunkt (Meeting Point) for someone from GEM to collect me and help me find the shuttle to take me to the conference.

Yes, the title tells you that I am not in Germany yet. However, I do have a seat on a flight leaving at 3:20 PM today. Please pray.

I attended a worship service in the chapel here at the Dulles airport and it was encouraging to me. Most of all I believe it was pleasing to God because the service pointed to God and his son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

I’m waiting in the airport because my flight from RDU was so delayed that I missed all the flights to Frankfurt tonight. I’m now on a Lufthansa flight tomorrow afternoon. Please pray for me.
