Earthquake in New Zealand

Friends and Family,
We wanted to write you and update on our situation. We have received many emails from those of you that have heard the news that there was a 6.3 earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand which is where we will be ministering. Our plans were to leave this Sunday, but due to the earthquake this is being postponed. The Nav leaders there are alive and well and we are praising God for that! The city does not have water or sewage right now and many building are not standing. After speaking with the Nav leaders in New Zealand today we agree (especially for our children) that it would be best for us to wait a little bit to fly.

Some specific prayer request:
For the families of Christchurch that have lost loved ones. (Death toll is at 75 and 300 people are still missing).
For the Nav leaders in Christchurch as the minister to their community.
For the Rescue teams and they continue to rescue people trapped in buildings.
That God would be preparing the hearts of people who are hopeless right now to hear and receive the Good News.
Wisdom to know when to travel.

In His Name,

Yesterday, Today, and Forever

I look behind me and You're there,
then up ahead and You're there, too-
Your reassuring presence, coming and going,
This is too much, too wonderful!
PSALM 139: 5,6 The Message

A friend sent me a card today and had this verse in it! How appropriate and so true! I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me today!
