Nine Days with Two Special Friends

A year ago the Lord brought two new friends into our family's lives and we are so thankful for the friendship the Lord has given us with Ken and Nancy.  They have become like family.  There is a special bond and love that we share with them that ONLY THE LORD can do.

If you don't know the story of how the Lord brought them into our lives check here.

When they left our home last January they told us that we HAD to come and stay with them while we were in the States.  While planning our time here, we figured that the best time for us to make the trip to Georgia (that is where they lived at the time) would be in December.  We weren't going to speak at any churches in December and we thought it would be the only month we would have several days to stay with them.  (They made it clear that we had to stay longer than a 4 day weekend!).  Long story short, they moved to Naples, so our plans changed from visiting Georgia to visiting Naples.  My parents offered to drive us out to see them which was great since we don't have our own car here in the States.  We got a call a few months back and Ken and Nancy had arranged for us to set up a table at First Baptist Naples (the church they attend) while we are visiting them.  So, not only did we get to spend time with Ken and Nancy we also go to share about Samaria Mission with lots of people.  We even meet about 4 or 5 people from South Africa that currently live in Naples. 

We all managed to pack so much into a few short days.  Here are a few pictures of some of the things we were able to do while we were with Ken and Nancy.
