Exactly six months to the day and date we began out Ministry of Miles journey. No one could have predicted or orchestrated where we have been, what we have done and the "coincidences" we have encountered except the Almighty Travel Agent and His Co-Agents.
Our blog has recounted only a few of the highlights, but there have been so many more and we cherish the entire experience and are excited about where we will be called to go or where we will be called to stay.
Our time at The Great Passion Play has been our longest time without adding miles to our vehicle. The odometer has read 18,158 and has remained there for the past 50 days and we have traveled just over 5,500 miles in six months compared with nearly 7100 miles on our 42 day trip last July and August in our SUV. How blessed and protected we have been and how grateful we are for God's grace and provision. We have made some friends we will have for years to come and have learned so much about living on the road, gained new mechanical and technical skills, been able to make friends with camels, donkeys, sheep, dogs, cats, horses and endure the critters of the South and Southeast. We have learned so much more about obedience, faith, love, contentment and each other. God has been so Good, and even though there have been rough times, expenses we had not anticipated and some injuries, sore bodies and close calls, we have always felt God's presence and peace and give Him all the glory and praise for our past six months and all that preceded that and has brought us to this time and place.
Pray for God's favor for The Great Passion Play ministry and all the staff, paid employees, volunteers and attendees. I've mentioned how much this area needs this ministry to continue and to prosper. There are so many needs in order to bring it back to the place it enjoyed in the '80's and '90's and allow more people to be blessed, as nearly 8 million have already been, since it began in 1968. We'll visit again soon. Bless all of you, and thank you for your prayers and support. You have blessed us tremendously.
