Hi everybody,
The most recent development in the Lamane project is that I will be going to visit Pops for the second full week of April (April 11-20). This trip has come up for a number of reasons and actually came on my heart during conversations I had with him before he left. At that time the missions director of Pops' church was strongly considering going to see the work in Lamane while Pops was there for this trip. The director had been looking for another individual to accompany him who could perhaps eventually take over some of the mantle of this work. However, due to a personal emergency his trip was made impossible and that became the catalyst for me to begin seeking God in earnest concerning the possibility of making the trip myself.
Tanya and I prayed audibly at the beginning of this process that the Lord would make His will clear to us by making everything simple if he desired me to go. Well, I do not believe that I have ever had more clear direction than in this case. Every element of this trip has simply fallen into place with almost no effort on our part at all. Though even now I would be lying if I said that I do not feel a little daunted by the responsibility, I believe that God has a purpose and am anxious to see how He plays it out. I should be in Lamane for five full days and hope to be an encouragement and asset to Pops while I am there. Please pray that God would give me a clear and calm mind in order to accomplish the goals that we believe He has put on our hearts. As always, thank you for your continued prayers, support and interest. God bless,
Tim

Wow Tim - amazing news! Ruth and I will be praying that while you are there and in the time following as you ponder what you see that God will "download" his vision, strategy and plan for the people there, you, Pops, others and this work.
You'll know it when it happens... to quote the great St. Tim of Annapolis, it’s just like this:
"Every element of this trip has simply fallen into place with almost no effort on our part at all. Though even now I would be lying if I said that I do not feel a little daunted by the responsibility, I believe that God has a purpose and am anxious to see how He plays it out. "
Be Safe, but not too safe!!! I imagine you zipping down jungle trails on a motorcycle in sunglasses, a bandana and a knapsack – “who was that masked man?”. : )
