Honeytree in concert with her family

If you are a Honeytree fan you will remember her "Melodies in Me" Album. She makes mention of her family. We were thrilled to be in the audience of a concert featuring ALL of the family! Her Mom, Mary, and her sister Kathy and her daughter, Hannah visited us in England in the 80's. They were all here joined by Nancy's Dad, Bill and other sister, Jane!

Just in ...Pictures from YWAM Discipleship Training School

Here are the great group of YWAM students we were teaching last week. They were from USA, UK, Denmark, S. Korea, Canada and Germany. Syd spoke on Cross Cultural Ministry and Islam. Liz taught on Evangelism.

Syd & Liz joined the team as they witnessed in "Little Five Points" Atlanta.

Syd & Liz at the Grand Ole Opry

What a great evening at the "Grand Ole Opry" in Nashville! Thanks to George Hamilton IV for the invitation! Connie Smith sang a beautiful Gospel song.

We've had a great time in the south

Marti Wynn, Mom Preston, Liz

We have had a great couple of weeks in Nashville, visiting our son Josh and his wife Jenny and their 2 children....plus we were invited to be backstage at the Grand Ole Opry as guests of our friend, George Hamiltion IV. What a great experience!

We had a great time at YWAM Atlanta with the Murton's and visited churches that are led by long standing friends.

Friends we met up with in the last few weeks:

Marti Wynn Daum - Now living in Alaska, Marti is a friend from Liz's High School years in Centerville, Ohio. Liz introduced her to Jesus and she went on to be a missionary in Jamaica, Peru and Alaska.

How exciting to turn around in church at Cross Point Vineyard, Centerville, and find Marti had dropped in to say "hi". It was the first time we had seen each other since 1972!

Marcia Hobday Brown - Best friends in elementary school in Union City, Michigan, Marcia is a teacher in Atlanta. Liz looked her address up and found we were preaching in a church only about 5 miles from her present home! Marcia and Liz hadn't seen each other for 30 years!

Gary & Marge Anthony - In 1985 the Anthony's visited us in England for 3 months. As a result of that visit their children were introduced to missions and all have been seriously engaged in missions around the world since. Pastor Mark Anthony, Pastor of Trinity Christian Fellowship, where we were preaching Wed. received his call to ministry in Ashford during that trip.

John & Cathy Cosenza/Kim & Chip Underwood - Friends since our days in Charlotte, it was great to meet up with them. Kim went with me to Nepal some years ago.

Jack & Stephanie Wolfe - Pastors of "My Epic Faith" we last met up 24 years ago when they came on mission to the UK. We shared in their service Sunday and were blessed by their incredible hospitality.

Nancy Honeytree's family including Mary Henigbaum and all the rest!- We last saw the family 8 years ago. The whole family came together for a fabulous concert last night...reminicent of their visit to England decades ago!

Now we are in Charlotte waiting for Rachel & Raul's baby. Please keep her in prayer!

Atlanta, GA - 08-08-08

We've had a wonderful time teaching a DTS at YWAM Atlanta with leaders Jeff and Sue Murton from ACF in England. For some of you that may not be familiar with YWAM, it stands for "Youth With A Mission", an interdenominational mission group started by Loren Cunningham 40 years ago.

Twenty one young people are on a mission across the USA having lectures and involved in street mission.
