Dear Ministry Partner,

This year's ministry is literally summarized by that phrase: "From Timbuktu to Kathmandu!"  That's because those are the geographical extremes God has taken me to this past year.   It will be the theme of my Year End Report that I hope to get to you in early January, 2012.  I cannot prepare and send it to you before then because I still have one more mission trip in December -- which will close out my busy year of travel and ministry.

My overseas trips have become so intense and diverse that I hardly have time to report on one before I leave on the next one!  Right now I am on a turn-around between Asia and Africa.  To that end, I want you to visually and spiritually "cross this bridge" with me from where you are to where I have just been.  I want you to…

• leave your world and enter theirs…
• leave your home and enter theirs…
• leave your church and enter theirs…
• leave your freedom and enter their restrictions...
• leave your peace and enter their persecution…
• leave your comfort and enter their condition…
• leave you prosperity and enter their poverty…
• leave your spiritual barrenness and enter their fruitfulness…
• leave your financial worries and enter their fiscal limitations…
• leave your Christmas shopping and do some spending for Jesus!

So PLEASE take a few minutes to look through the following pictorial report.  I know there are a LOT of pictures -- but they are only a small number of the ones I took!  And the ONLY reason I take the time to prepare and post these pictures and reports is because they are all the results of your prayer and financial support!  So take a few minuted to    You will be blessed and encouraged by the fruits of our co-labor for His Kingdom and glory!
