We are currently in Singapore, after 25 hours of flying. You don't really realize how long a plane flight is until you are in the middle of it. Our plane was late leaving Seattle, and it took us a long time to get into San Francisco due to fog. After taking off from San Fran, we realized that we were backtracking a bit as the plane flew right back past Washington, over Alaska into Russia and then down the coast to Seoul Korea.
We only had a little bit of time in Korea, but it was definitely cold, about 20 degrees Fahrenheit. One of the highlights of the trip has been playing football in all of the airports we come to. We have yet to get talked to by anyone, even in Korea or Singapore... we will see how long that lasts.
We have been in Singapore since 2:30 am local time (10:30 PST) and we will fly out at 1920 local (0320 PST) on our way to Cochin. It was very nice to stay at a hotel on the airlines expense, so we all got some sleep and showered.
In case you have never been to Singapore, it is a gorgeous city. Very modern and most strikingly, clean! I walked out of my hotel room chewing gum, and then was reminded by Jesse to not spit it out anywhere, because they will flog people for that offense, even foreigners! I am very excited to see more of the city this afternoon before flying out this evening.
We are going to enjoy the city, thanks for keeping up with us! Feel free to comment...

Love the Blog! Miss you Kaj!

Hi guys! It's so good to be able to 'check in' with you all this way! Keep it up! The PSCC family prayed for each of you on Wednesday at the prayer meeting. There was a very real sense of unity as we came together thanking God for you. Personally, I was challenged to focus more in praying for your boldness. My natural inclination is, of course, to pray for you to be cautious, careful and safe. Well, I continue in prayer and many others do also. I can't wait to hear all the stories and see pictures of your adventures!
Love-

(Jess-Kids are great, attitudes are positive and the Lord provides! We love you and miss you! See you soon! Tchuss!)
Hey Guys, By now I hope you are all together and pray that the team will be strong in the Lord's strength as you face everything He puts in your path.
Dale, we are praying you are safe at IGO now. The kids and I miss you, but we are excited to see how God will use you and the team for His Kingdom!
Samuel,
Do you know where the CDs from the Women's conference are at PSCC? and if there are any sets left over? Could you email me or tell Kaj for me. Thanks!
Hi guys..
I was so excited when Janell told me about this blog..I have been praying so much for you guys..and now I can communicate directly with the whole team!
Wednesday at corporate prayer..was amazing..Lance had us start out praying for the team..and we just didnt stop for a full 3O minutes..its was non-stop and the prayers were just pouring out of people.
Anyway, I recieved these verses for your guys..
Proverbs 27:17
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
The Lord just spoke to my heart that he desires to use you all, one to another, to really sharpen each other. I see all team members being used by the Lord. I proclaimed that you would come home sharper than when you left. You will come home changed men.
And then he wants to use you to to speak out his word.."For the word of God is living and active, Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the the heart. (Heb 4 :12)
So Jesus, we just pray right that these mighty men would be a sharp blade in your hand. Use them to sharpen each other and so that they may be a instrument in your hand. We entrust thier lives to you. AMEN!
Bless you guys..we are missing you and know I am daily lifting you up in prayer. Love the Blog!!
