Tamara (my bride) and I head off to Puerto Rico with eight high school students and one parent chaperone on this coming Saturday. We have bee "coaching" them all year long on cross-cultural missions, language barriers, food differences, worship stylehttps://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2028%3A18-20&version=AMPs, and of course, sharing the Gospel in practical and casual ways. This will be the twentieth (I may have lost track) mission trip for Tamara and me between Jackson, MS, St. Vincent in the Grenadines, New Orleans, Columbia, SC, NY, and now five to PR. All have involved lots of prayer, preparation, training, and sacrifice . . . and al well worth it! The memories, the friends made, and the saved souls gained for Christ will last an eternity.
