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!
