  From Antarctica!! Dear Family and Friends, Praise the Lord! Greetings from the beautiful South Atlantic at the bottom of the world! I hope and pray that you had a special season of true Thanksgiving and that you are really doing well! I’m doing great, except that I’m missing everyone. By God’s grace, I’ve been carrying the cross through the islands of the South Atlantic for the last week. This is perhaps the most remote and physically difficult cross-carrying trip yet. After a wonderful day of carrying the cross through the capitol city of Argentina, Buenos Aires, I flew to Ushuaia, the southernmost city of the world. There I had the privilege of carrying the cross through this beautiful region called Tiera del Fuego. The response was unbelievable. In such a cold region of the world, the people’s hearts were incredibly warm. Not only was I able to share with many on the roadsides, but I also had the opportunity to speak through the local media. After setting sail on an exploration vessel, we passed through the Magellan Straits on our way to the Falkland Islands. There, again, I carried the cross with a wonderful welcome. Many hearts were open to the beautiful message of Jesus… and again, the local news asked if they could interview me (The "Penguin News," of all things!). We’ve been sailing for the last two days, and tomorrow we arrive in the South Sandwich Islands, then South Shetland Islands, and finally Antarctica! It was February in Djibouti, of all places, that I felt God was calling me here--from the hottest spot on earth to the coldest. I have to say I don’t understand it at all. Yet Jesus spoke of leaving the ninety-nine to find the one. He also said we would be His witnesses to the ends of the earth. Here at the ends of the earth there are individuals that He loves dearly! If you think about us, please pray, for strength and warmth, for our family, and for a clear witness! By God’s grace, I’ll be home for Christmas. Thanks for being such an important part of taking the cross to the world! God
Bless You!! |
