Sunday, December 21st

God's timing all the way! It was our first time back in our old home church since the service in celebration of Lana's life (last May), and who should give a testimony but Sarah Reid! Her parents, Lana and I go way back; Sarah came to Nicaragua ten years ago and "got bit by the missions bug"... she is now on a two-year assignment in Colombia through the International Mission Board (see www.servinginsouthamerica.blogspot.com for details).

Lana and I joined Westside Baptist as newlyweds in 1983; we were commissioned 13 years ago as their missionaries to Nicaragua. The church has grown in many ways in the 26 years it has been under its current pastor, Gary Crawford. It is definitely true to its motto: "Where friends become family".
