Well, we're back. The BritTeam arrived safely into Greenville/Spartenburg Airport at around 6:15 (EST). All our luggage made it safely as well.
It's hard to believe that the trip is actually over. At times I feel like it was all a dream. There's some many things that I've learned. I'm praying that the Lord will not let me forget all the things I've been taught. Please pray for the entire team, that we will not loose the focus that we had on the trip and that we will faithfully share the lessons we've learned with those here in the states.
The world is really a rather small place, and the true Church is the most international organization in the world. "There is neither Jew nore Greek, Barbarian or Scythian, bond or free..." After meeting over five hundred fellow Christians in a completely seperate context from the one I've grown up in, I have come away with a better since of how narrow my understanding of life realy is.
If any of you who read this blog ever have the chance to work with churches in foreign countries, don't hesitate for a moment. Follow that opportunity and if the Lord provides your way there, it will be one of the best things that has ever happened to you.
Call me if you need some more persuading. 8o)

We've just finished our last service here in Eyemouth. It's hard to believe the trip is actually over. We'll be leaving very early tomorrow morning for an eight hour drive down to London. Tuesday we'll be site seeing, and Wednesday we'll be flying home.
It's amazing in some ways to think that we actually have other lives. 8o) I'm sure we'll get back into the swing of things soon enough. I'm sure I'll be wanting to come back in about a month (or less). 8o)
Thank you for all your prayers these past couple months. It really has been noticeable.
Cheers! 8o)
We'll be leaving this morning around 11 (GMT) for Imouth. It's hard to believe we're on to our final week. The week here in Falkirk has been fun. For the fourth we went to Calender park and had a picnic with the church. We got bit to death by migies (the UK equivalent of a mosquito), so in many ways it was similar to being home. 8o)
Please pray for us this last week as we finish up here. Pray that we will finish our course as well (or better even) then we began.
I'm looking forward to seeing most of you again this fall.
Thank you for your prayers. 8o)
Cheers!
We're currently in a place called Falkirk. It's about a half hour from Edinburgh. Today we did some singing on the high street and passed out leaflets for the church. There were some good contacts made.
Tomorrow we'll be visitng the highlands. It's about 2.5 hours from here, but the general consensus is that it will be well worth it. 8o)
Our past two weeks in Scotland have been wonderful and this looks to be another good one. We've done everything from paint sanctuaries to leaflet thousands of houses. The missionaries we've stayed with here have been wonderful.
Please continue to pray for us as we work. The trip isn't over, but as it nears the end we start looking towards the near future and thinking home sounds rather nice. 8o) However, I think many of us will be leaving with a greater burden for the world at large and the UK in specific.
Thank you for your prayers. 8o)
Cheers! 8o)
