Preparations

Hi! Welcome to our mission tour blog. Here, we plan to keep our families, friends, and congregation up-to-date on our travels, experiences, and impressions. We'll try to post as often as we can, though we will be subject to the availability of Wi-Fi and the internet at each of our destinations.

We're about a week away from departure, and the excitement and anticipation are high!  There is still much to do - rehearsals, packing decisions (both climate and regional requirements need to be considered), finding the correct adapters (gotta have that tech - we're blogging, right?), choosing a guidebook and reading up on where we're going, getting the house, the family, the pets, and the office ready for the time away. And that's just as a tour member, I can't imagine how hectic Ed's and Cal's and Cindy's lives are right now. 


Finally, there's our most important preparation - prayer and openness to hear God's plan for us on this trip - how will He use us as we interact with the people and culture of Israel and Jordan? We hope you'll follow us on our journey, and we'd love and appreciate your prayer support as well. Until things get rolling, check out the tour information available on this site.
