Mom and Dad

I've been extremely proud of my parents. Over the past 9 years, they have been on a journey of stepping out in faith - seeking to follow God where he leads. This has involved the leaving of jobs, selling of their house, and general uncertainty of what exactly the future holds.

They work with an organization called Project Light who's primary purpose is teaching people how to read English (a very valuable skill in most of the world). As they build relationships with the students, there have also been many opportunities to share their faith. They have done a great deal of traveling all over the world (including Russia, South Africa, Ecuador, and many more).

Most of the time, I am not terribly concerned for their well-being. (After all, they have survived an Ecuadorian coup & nearby volcanic eruptions, as well as many more adventures). However, their latest travel seems to pose a fairly high risk. On Wednesday they caught a plane down to Haiti where they are in the process of setting up an English-learning center. They are scheduled to stay in Haiti until next Wednesday.

The only problem is that it looks like a rather large hurricane is making it's way towards the island. Current forecasts call for the hurricane to brush by the southern part of Haiti making a direct pass over Jamaica. But forecasts are still early and can change pretty quickly. You can check out the latest forecast at the National Hurricane Center.

We'll keep you posted on how things are looking. We'd appreciate your thoughts and prayers as things progress.
