Wyoming
Two weeks ago we had a great visit in Wyoming. We visited special friends and in addition were able to visit a new church. Yolanda was given the opportunity to do a full presentation on JM2Z on a weeknight at Lander EFree Church. She then had a few minutes in the Sunday morning service and we also had a meeting with the missions committee. We don't know what will come of that, but they are considering a partnership with JM2Z.
Colorado
After leaving Wyoming, we stopped in Colorado to visit some extended family. One of the most difficult aspects of our jobs is how little we get to spend time with family and so it was wonderful to be able to see them. We really enjoyed our time together and were blessed to spend a day driving through the Rocky Mountains and also saw a herd of elk right in the middle of town.
Church Visits
Our formal church visits are now complete. It's been quite a whirlwind to say the least. Here are some stats from our last couple of months on the road throughout the US:
- 10 Weeks
- 11 Churches
- 16 States
- 21 Homes/Hotels stayed in
- 9,265 Miles traveled
- Countless number of blessings
We have been all over the country, from New York to California and Minnesota to Louisiana. We met many new people and saw tons of friends/partners/supporters. We have thanked everyone along the way, but we want to say thank you again. Thank you to all the churches who welcomed us each week! Thank you for giving us so much time in your Sunday services, small groups, and homes to share about JM2Z. Thank you to every couple and family who allowed us to invade your homes and graciously gave us space to operate! Thank you for all of the home cooked meals, which were much appreciated while on the road. We felt like we were staying with family.
We experienced so many blessings along the way and we could never have enough space or time to make a list and share it with you. Everyone was extremely warm and friendly. Everyone was very generous with their time and resources. How blessed we have been that so many people want to hear about what the Lord is doing in Zimbabwe through JM2Z!

ICOM
As wonderful and encouraging as our visits have been, traveling 900 miles per week and staying in a different home every 3 days has taken a toll on us. We're exhausted!
ICOM (International Conference on Missions) is coming at a perfect time. We will be attending the conference this Wednesday through Sunday in Cincinnati. It will be a wonderful time of refreshment and rejuvenation with thousands of other missionaries from around the world. We will have a busy schedule, but it will be a time for us to be fed. It's been four years since we've been able to be there in person, so we are excited! You may remember the past few years that we've live streamed the main speakers while in Zimbabwe, but it's not the same as actually being there.
Afterward, we will head back to Chicago to be with family for Thanksgiving, which will be another blessing.
