Travels in March 2026

Dear friends and family, 

 Our goal with this letter is to give you a quick glimpse at our schedule and update you on current prayer requests. We are writing from Atlanta as we prepare to leave our friends and supporters here. Tomorrow we head further North and East, planning on being in Bluff City, Tennessee this weekend. From there we will be swinging in a circle through North Carolina and then up to Maryland. Along the way we will see friends from many parts of our life. We are grateful our trip has gone well so far. 

We had a great weekend at First Baptist Atlanta, renewing friendships and speaking in Sunday School and at their Adventures in Missions Luncheon. This road trip will bring us back to Chicago in March, but it won't be the end all our trips. Joy has plans to attend a women in ministry conference in Capernwray England, and Bill is hoping to visit family in Minnesota. April is wedding time! Our son Cullen will be marrying a wonderful young Christian woman April 18. With family gathering alongside friends, we anticipate a wonderful time of laughter and fun during this celebration. 

 Here is a peek at our upcoming schedule: 

Feb 20 Leave Atlanta and head toward Tennessee 

Feb 21-23 Bluff City, Tennessee 

Feb 24-26 JAARS, Waxhaw, NC 

Feb 27-March 8 Forcey Bible Church, Silver Springs, MD 

March 14-15 Uniontown Bible Church, Unionbridge, MD 

How can you be praying for us? We praise the Lord that even this week we had two people reach out to us with the intention of coming alongside and supporting our ministry financially. But we are still looking for partners to join our team, both in prayer and financially. Moody Aviation has the goal of training missionary pilots. Part of this goal is to make the training affordable so they are not saddled with college debt leading to a delay or inability to get to the mission field. One way they do this is by asking their training staff to stay on support from their sending mission organizations. In order for us to BEGIN our ministry in Spokane, WA we must raise our support up to 80% of our monthly quota. The difference between the cost of living in Peru and the USA is significant and thus we lack committed partners to give either monthly or yearly. If you feel led to join us we have included the link to our Wycliffe page that has a button to join in supporting the ministry God has called us to. 

Our absolute favorite part of furlough is spending time with so many of our friends and family, plus the opportunity to eat good food :) Check out our slideshow abovefor some fun pictures from the past two weeks. We look forward to seeing some of you soon. 

Serving together, Bill and Joy
