As you read this, I am somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, travelling with these three friends of mine.
From the left, it’s Mike Dey, Ron Dozier, Brian Braunschweiger, and well, you know.
All of us are part of the Good Shepherd family.
We are flying into Phnom Penh, Cambodia, which will be our base of operation for the first five days of our trip.
Then we’ll travel to Bhubaneswar, India for the final five days of our journey.
Why are we spending so much in Cambodia and India? What does all that have to do with Good Shepherd United Methodist Church and its approach to international missions?
Check back tomorrow, and I’ll answer some of those questions.
It’ll be Top Five Tuesday, Asian-style.

Okay — can’t figure out what time it is there — it is 6:30 p.m. here on Monday evening. Monnie and I have been praying nonstop now, and at POP in the morning you will definitely feel those prayers (if you can figure out what time it is in NC). Any ambien needed?

At POP we got out the map of India and JR showed us where next week’s travels will be. But first, we have to get you through this week in Cambodia. Know by now, Talbot, that you read THAT book, and you are truly happy you did. Tomorrow (Weds.) should be a great day for you all. We have your itinery in hand and have you covered.
