Rebecca Begins Her Grand Adventure -- Bulgaria Bound

We took Rebecca to the Tallahassee Airport yesterday. She left at 11:00 A.M. to begin flying to Sofia, Bulgaria. We had a wonderful week with her before she left. She spoke at the United Methodist Men's monthly gathering on Monday night. It was a great talk, and we came away understanding a little better God's call on her life. She will be working with high school students--Missionary's Kids-- teaching their World History and English Literature from a Christian world view.

Rebecca called this morning to let us know that she had made it safely to Sofia. The team greeted her at the airport with flowers and strong backs to help carry all her luggage. She had already unpacked and was getting settled in her room. They were having a cookout shortly. (It was afternoon there as they are 7 hours ahead of us.)

She will have a few days to rest, begin language lessons, and explore the city. She starts teaching next week, but has already been making assignments. The students have responded in a marvelous way. We feel it is truly going to be a grand adventure for Rebecca. Please keep her in your prayers.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His unfailing love. He delivers them from death and keeps them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice for we trust in His holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our trust in you. Psalm 37:5-7
