Trinity Church of Omaha, Nebraska is taking a very large team of teenagers to Masatepe, Nicaragua in June. I (jan) am so excited because today they told me that they will bring me down to help Angela Benitez with all the logistics of the trip! I know that I will be a big help to her since I know the country, the culture, the language, the pastors, the places, etc. (we lived there for three years). It is going to be great ministering with my friends there... not just the Nicaraguans but my friends from Nebraska as well.
Please keep this trip in your prayers. It has the potential to impact the lives of 100 American teenagers as well as the people of Nicaragua they will be with. Thank God for a church that really prepares their groups before a trip and sends them well-informed into the nations.
Greg: Soemthing is happening here and I don't quite know what it is....all these old-timers getting hooked up again after "Oh So Long".
Saw your post to that e-mail thing that Pat Rowland or somebody sent and had to check out your blog.
Sandi and I left Living Water after 22 years along with 3 other elder couples.
During our struggles with the "Leave your mind at the door" mentality, we happened to meet with Bryant and Amy.
Then Reed and Tab left a month or two before we did and Reed referenced his friendship with you as a benchmark kind of thing.
Anyway..great to hear from you. Keep up the good work. I like you selection of books...where's the poetry. LOL
I have been reading Octavio Paz and Lorca and think that spanish can be a magical language.

Hi Jan! I am so glad that you'll be there to help the team. Hopefully we'll get to know each other better while we are there.
See you in June.
