Yesterday we had a wonderful day at Arlington. We praised and thanked God for the five weeks of ministry the Rider's did at the Village of Hope. Danny showed us pictures and told many stories of their work during a combined Bible class. We did not want to stop. Danny will be preaching next Sunday morning and will tell the Arlington family more of their journey and what God taught them.
During my lesson, we had the elders come and surround the Rider's and the twelve others departing this Wednesday morning. Tom Drinnen led a beautiful prayer thanking God for his protection and guidance for the Rider family and asking God to bless the mission team about to depart. I then led a study through Numbers 13 and 14 the importance of having eyes of faith. This is the story of the sending of the spies into the land of Canaan. Ten spies gave a report of discouragement and despair while two spies (Joshua and Caleb) knew with God's help it was time to claim the land God had promised them 400 years earlier (Gen. 12). Do we have eyes of faith or unbelief? Do we have a grasshopper faith or a victorious one? You will have to read Numbers 13 to understand that grasshopper comment.
Pray that our mission team will have the faith of Joshua and Caleb as we encounter giants of various kinds. We know God is able to accomplish His will through us if we trust Him. Pray we will be a blessing to Tommy and the work at the Village of Hope and not a distraction. We do not want to be a high maintainance group but rather one that quickly adjusts to the new surroundings and will surround the children and staff at the Village of Hope with love.
We look forward to what God has in store for us. Thank you for your prayers.
We will depart for Atlanta on Wed. morning. Our flight leaves at 4:30 p.m. We will arrive about 24 hours later in Accra. We will post as we are able according to the power supply and keep you informed.
So you can pray for us by name, the mission team is made up of the following: Bill and Dorothy Langley, Meredith and Cathy Norris, Zack Pratt, April Wallis, David and Lori Tiller, Jeff and Michelle Cutler, Billie Jean Coleman, Pete and Faye Sasser and their daughter Dee Burleson, and Mark Brackney.
Blessings,
Mark

Hey Guys is it hot or what?????????
We tried to tell you but I know it didn't do a bit of good. When people tried to tell us it was hot we didn't REALLY believe them!
Keep Up The Good Work!
Love Ellen
Dearest Lori,
I have not stopped thinking about you, David and the rest of your group. My heart is so full of joy just thinking what you all are experiencing. Please know I will continue to pray for all of you and the blessings that God will shed on you while your there and for the rest of your life. Have you been able to give the children the crayons or the stickers? If you get a chance let me know. I love you and cannot wait to hear all the stories.
Glad you made it safely! We'll be praying for you guys.
