It is just after 4:30 a.m. as I write these words. No, I have not become one of those ridiculously early risers! My body clock is still on Australia time and the adjustment period is real.

In spite of all of this I have known the Lord’s strength and help since returning. We had a wonderful camp in Louisiana and I am currently in a revival meeting in Bristol, VA. It is yet another reminder to me that God is always fresh and always faithful. 

During my college years there was a sweet elderly man, a veteran missionary back from the field, who used to constantly refer to a missionary’s “praying friends.” His expression has taken on new meaning for me as we travel from place to place – preaching God’s Word, seeking souls, and helping churches. Those “praying friends” are more needed than ever. I praise God for them every day.

As we approach the month of August we would deeply appreciate your prayers for these meetings and a definite move of God in each town. Thank you for being one of our praying friends…
