Traveling: business or pleasure?

I like to say that I love to drive, even better when there is a destination to the journey.

I also love to meet people. Visit with old friends and making new ones, I love to be with people.

In the attempt to gain prayer support and engage those who are interested in missions I travel a lot when I am in the States. For the most part I do love it. But, I am a workaholic sometimes scheduling meetings too close together. This only makes what is usually a pleasure, in to work. This is the bad news.

The good news is all of the people I get to meet and the resources I have discovered. Such as a church in Temecula California that has put us on their prayer list. As you know prayer is God’s weapon on the spiritual battle field. I also got to meet the friendly people at “Faith Comes by Hearing”. What a great organization. They go into the world translating the bible into other languages. Then they put this bible on mp3 players using national speakers recorded in the field. They put this mp3 into a box with solar, A/C, and hand crank charging capability. This player is designed for group listening by illiterate nationals.

I have met many fiends during my travels the last few months. I have been able to introduce some of them to other friends that need to collaborate and share resources. I have also met several people who serve in and around Honduras.

And now I am off the road for a while.
