This past monday, the Sanford clan invaded Lowry. We had a meeting with a key person in the community to start the day. Key people who can open up the community and organizations are commonly referred to as a “Person of Peace”. These individuals are non-believers who help with relationships, community approval and open doors to community resources. Please pray that God brings us people of peace in Lowry.
Secondly, we met with the NAMB, Send North America representative and his wife for lunch. I have been meeting monthly for coaching. I am grateful for the experience Dave brings to the table, for the encouragement that he has provided me, as well as the challenges he has given me through assignments and tough questions.
Finally, we spent time playing in a windy, cold park and driving around in the warmth of our car to show the children the neighborhood. We desire to make Lowry home and not just somewhere we live. Monday was a step toward that for our children. I am grateful for a family that is willing to go as God calls and enjoy the journey together.
