It's been an eventful day for our Prayer Walking Team. Though everyone had hoped to be on the same flight and landing in Lima around 9 p.m. tonight, our team has found themselves split up again. From the latest accounts, Brad & Jackie were able to get out this afternoon and are hopefully arriving in Peru tonight. Meanwhile, the remaining four members have been meeting various folks at Miami International. Several have commented on the great spirits they seem to have in light of their travels. I think the team is doing walking warm-ups in the airport; no doubt, they are praying!
God certainly answers our prayers and continues to provide for our team. We spoke with the four Miami confined members tonight and prayed specifically for them to be able to make a midnight flight. This flight would send them to Bolivia then on to Lima. Just moments ago, our pastor received information from the team that they had received 4 confirmed boarding passes to depart Miami and fly directly to Lima! Praise the Lord for this miracle. We hope to hear from the team again before they depart Miami.
Here are some other prayer points for you to remember over the next few hours:
* pray for Brad and Jackie who should be arriving in Lima tonight around 9 p.m. (CST); pray they make their contacts and get into a hotel easily
* pray for the midnight flight to occur without any other major setbacks; pray that the remaining team members will be able to rest during this flight
* pray for all the luggage to find its way to each of our missionaries; because of all the flight issues, only God knows where each piece is at this point!
* pray for renewed energy and excitement for the team as they all arrive in Lima and begin preparing for their journey by truck
Thanks for your prayers for Walter, Donna, Brad, Jackie, Gloria & Linda. Praise God for their continued sacrifice and for His undeniable intervention and provision. We don't know when or if the team will have access to this blog, but feel free to post your comments and notes of encouragement. Above all else, continue praying for their adventures!

We are praying for you guys! God always shows Himself sovereign in the details...even if the details don't align with our schedules or expectations! We know great things are ahead of the team this week...greater than we can ever expect or ask for...stay encouraged!
In Him,
Jonathan and Melissa
Whenever you have a moment in the airport or on the plane, read Isaiah 40 and be reminded of God's greatness. Be encouraged that His Word stands forever. Soon you guys will be able to find a high mountain and lift your voices mightily praising God for your safe arrival! Meanwhile, know that He is your Shepherd and is carrying you through all of these days.
The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. May each of your experience renewed strength in the hours ahead so that you may walk and not grow weary!
Our prayers continue to be with you.
