SUNDAY VISIT

Travis spoke at Community Christian Church today. Perhaps you would like to hear him preach and speak about the impact of the mission work many of you generously support in his name.

Boston Update

Gina has finished the race. Looked a little dicey on Saturday evening after she arrived in Boston and realized she was sick. She was out there running today though with a 10:30 AM start. Interesting little side note...her start time offset was 0:01:59, meaning it took one minute and fifty-nine seconds for her to cross the start line once the race began. Bit of a crowd there at the beginning.

Race stats:

Total Race Field: 26,331 Entrants
Time: 3:47:17
Overall Placing: 12,187
Women's Placing: 3,559
Age Division Placing: 617

Way to go, Gina!!

BOSTON BOUND

This one's for Gina who will be running the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 20, 2009.

Gina did her first mini-marathon in 2004 in Indianapolis and has been non-stop since. She's run marathons and 50 mile cross country races all over the United States. Qualifying for Boston was a big goal for her and the whole family is outrageously proud of her.

A couple of years ago she was an alternate for the Blue Planet Run, an organized global run to promote awareness of the need for clean drinking water.So she's not just a good runner. She's a good person who's a good runner.

The weather forecast for Monday is mid 40s and cloudy which should make for good running conditions. Support Gina by viewing the race live online Monday

Mission Photos

Greetings -
Trav would never say this but I wanted you to see these pictures of the first church of two, that Travis and Bob (I "demanded" that this time Trav not be the only American on the advanced party) were to oversee that the site was prepped and ready for the mission team that arrives after Easter. You can clearly see that this church is almost complete! While I often sit amazed at how GOD has moved Travis to this occupation, I understand why - his heart is in this work. Trav and Bob did this work along with what locals were there in less than one week. Remember he had trouble with lost luggage and extra days in the airport because of missing connecting flights to the next island, but to accomplish so much is incredible. (Now I fully expect that my "honey do" list which I myself have been putting together will get complete equally as quickly when Trav returns - ha!).
I know he was up very early and worked long hours to see this church was about done so he could get to the next one and get it started plus see about the parsonage that will be built.

Thanks so much for your prayers, and friendship -
Happy day -
Gina
