Cross Country - Update 4: Owasso, OK and Prairie Village, KS

As we planned our travels from Texas to Missouri, we planned an ambitious drive 14 hour drive from in one day. Instead of another long day on the road, our friends from Owasso, Oklahoma Matt and Nelly Feldi took us in and hosted us for an evening.  Their kindness was such a blessing to us, not just opening their home to us, but being able to catch up on what the Lord is doing in their lives and with the ministry of the Bible Church of Owasso.

We are thankful for the blessing they were to us, making our trip much more bearable and making one 14 hour drive two much shorter drives.  One of the biggest blessings of this cross country drive has been the opportunity to see friends that we had not seen and probably would not have seen for a few years.  We were reminded as we spent time with the Feldi's that the Lord has blessed us with many friendships through the fellowship of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ around the U.S. and even around the world.

On October 11th, our travels took us to Kansas City where we were able to spend time with Rick and hear him preach from 1 Peter 4:10-11 on the stewardship believers have to use their gifts for the benefit of one another. It was a great time for us to visit Rick at Mission Road Bible Church in Prairie Village, KS where he has been pastor since 2011. MRBC is also a home of The Expositors Seminary where Rick serves as a professor.

Coming to the middle of the country means that we had approached a most serious issue. Where do we find the best barbecue? Our third weekend surely provided us with a potential answer. Pastor Rick Holland and his wife Kim took us out to the best burger I have ever had. Whenever you put burnt ends on top of a burger, you win!

We are grateful for the friendship of the Holland family and are excited to see how the Lord is using biblical shepherding and expository preaching at Mission Road Bible Church to affect the city of Kansas City.

Prayer Request
Praise the Lord that our visas have been approved and it happened in such a short period of time from us submitting the paperwork. 
Please continue to pray for financial support as we have 30% of what we will need for the first year. (If you have any discretionary funds please consider giving to this ministry so that the help they need will be provided as soon as possible.)
Pray also for GraceLife London and pastors Tom and Ross as they endure health issues and continue to preach the Gospel to London and throughout England.
