We have been in England now 4 days. There are so many things to tell of this beautiful land. We have seen rain and sunshine. We have seen old and new (we went to Chester and walked along the old Roman walls and went into Manchester and enjoyed sometime in the Trafford Center which is one of the largest malls in Europe). But there is something that we have seen that is nothing new- people and there need for Christ. The church here is in complete disarray. The people we have been with are embarking on a journey that will be both tough and rewarding for the Kingdom. We are staying with Roy and Ruth Kunar- they are some of the most wonderful people we have ever met. The church that they have helped start is doing great things, but they need more laborers. The society in England has gone through rapid decay. The family unit is seeing continual trouble. Divorce and teen pregnancy is unbelievable. The light of the Gospel is needed. We have found this place extremely exciting and have a great deal of areas we can fit in on this team. Today is our last full day in Culcheth, tomorrow we will be going to Scotland to visit the believers of St. Peters Free Church. Tonight we are spending some time with a couple in Grace Fellowship, the church in Culcheth, to discuss opportunities to get into the community sports club and discuss the school system. Continue to pray for us as we are away from our young ones and as we process through all the information we have received. We are encouraged by what God is doing here and His faithfulness to His people. The need in the UK is great, we must not forget Europe and the land of our fathers.

I'm enjoying reading you and your wife's stories. The whole family disintegration thing is really freaking me out.
I'm not jealous at all. Not even a little bit. I wouldn't enjoy strolling along a 2000 year old Roman wall. Sounds boring really.
Ha.
Man, sounds as though things are well. I hope the Soctland trip goes well. By the way, Chuck Tarter spoke in Sunday School last Sunday. He's interested in you and your ministry. Anyway.
Take care man. Grace and Peace.
