Hong Kong

Wow,  the last two days have been crazy!!!   Most of you already know the story but I will quickly given it to you again.  I was at JAX with plenty of time. We boarded and then the captain told us there were severe storms in Dallas and the airport had closed.  The earliest it would reopen would be in one hour.  Well, four hours later we took off from JAX.  I arrived at DFW at 8:30, one  hour before my next takeoff. Well, for a number of reasons, I was not able to go with that plane but the others did. So I went to the  Farr's home which was two hours away from the DFW Airport.  I went back to the airport the next day and got into the same flight plan, 24 hours later. Well, that flight was delayed because of weather in SFO, where I had to get on the plane for Hong Kong at 1:20. Well, we were off the ground 1 hour later than planned and arrived at the SFO Airport at 12:10  Made it through security and to the gate 5 min. before boarding!!! Praise the  Lord. I am sitting in the Hong Kong Airport waiting for the plane that will take me to the first country we will be working in.  I cannot wait to get there!!!  Thank you all for your prayers and I will try to keep you posted. By the way, I am 12 hours ahead of you in  Fernandina so it is morning here!!!

Wow. Just three more days until I leave. I am starting to pack and try to get everything in order.  Here is a little about the ministry I will be going with.

"The ALERT Cadet program was started in 1996 as an outgrowth of the ALERT program, with the vision to raise up godly young men who would be “Strong to Overcome” the evil one, from 1 John 2:13, and mighty in spirit. We desire to turn the hearts of the fathers to the sons and the hearts of sons to their fathers (Malachi 4:6). The ALERT Cadet program is a tool which a wise father can use to assist him in raising up godly sons.
The mission of the ALERT Cadet program is to assist fathers to win and keep the hearts of their 8 to 17-year-old sons. This goal is achieved, with God’s help, through the quality time which fathers and sons spend together completing exciting projects, memorizing Scripture, and participating in ALERT Cadet sponsored activities."


We  will be holding camps for fathers and sons with the mission of fathers growing closer to their sons.
I also wanted to introduce to you the other men going with me. Roger Farr is the leader of the ALERT Cadet program and is heading up the trip. Cooper Dauer is a 16 year old young man from California.


Things to Pray For...

   For the hearts of the fathers to be turned to the sons and the hearts of the sons to be turned to the fathers.

   For us to keep our eyes on Christ and not to put them on ourselves.

   For the opportunity to share Christ as we move about these countries.

   And lastly, for safety in travel and  work.


I will try to post as often as I can. 
May Christ be Glorified.
