Only 7 Days…
Only 7 days until….
…we return to the United Kingdom.
After driving 50,000 miles, visiting 94 different churches, spending a great deal of time with our families and friends, and getting further training, it is time for us to return to Northern Ireland and then to England.
We had a great time on our furlough, but we are ready to go “home.” For 8 years of our life, the UK was our home. It is the place for we began our ministry. It is the place were our children were all born, and we are excited to go back.
On next Wednesday, at 9.10pm, we fly out of Atlanta, GA. We should be in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland by Thursday night. We will spend about 6 weeks there before moving to London in August.
