Time Flies



This was Bethany's first airplane flight in 1997 when she had just turned 4. I swear, that's exactly what she looked like to me yesterday as we said goodbye at the airport for her to depart on her first journey without us. She called just after midnight last night to let us know they were in L.A., and as I write this she is somewhere over the Pacific. She is traveling with a good friend and with a wonderful team of college students, and when she arrives at her final destination in China sometime in the middle of the night tonight (our time) she will be greeted by our precious family friends in whose care she will be for the next 5 weeks. Most of all, she's in the care of her Heavenly Father who has given her a heart for the nations.

Please pray for her. Please pray for her team and the work they'll do in the weeks ahead. Please pray for her mother.
