Looking forward to the NMC

This weekend Elizabeth and I will be going to the National Missionaries Convention down in Atlanta, GA! I've not had the opportunity in the past to attend, so I'm super excited! From what I've heard, there will be thousands of people there, all focused on growing the Kingdom of God! I'm looking forward to hearing all about the great things happening all around the globe right now. For my part, seeing so many together all working towards this same goal has always been an encouragement to me.

Along with that, we'll also get to meet with some of our friends and co workers from PBT that we haven't seen since Dallas. It will be a great chance to catch up with friends and share a little bit about how our trip has been progressing. Also, while we are in Atlanta we are hoping to meet with some Churches there, and possibly find some more people who are willing to help us get to Papua New Guinea. Right now we have around a third of what we will need for our total trip cost, so it would be great to be able to find a Church that is willing to help us with our efforts.

A short update as to what we've been up to this last month.
We are in Virginia visiting with Churches around Norfolk who have been supportive of Elizabeth in the past.
We've also been meeting with individuals in the area, at least a few of whom have decided to help us out.
Along with meeting with supporters, we also have been using the time to get some things in order with preparing our upcoming wedding! And I have enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth's family a little better while we are here.

All in all, it has been a month spent sharing our mission with friends and family, and enjoying our time travelling together.

Until next time.
