Homeward Perigrinations : Part 3 - A final pictorial update from the Lueken's

Perigrinations? Jon's favorite word which means to travel from one place to another, a course of travel.

The last week of our trip (Oct. 11 - 18) eastward was spent with dear friends with no speaking engagements planned ahead. But, God kindly rounded out our trip with several opportunities to casually share stories and pictures with handfuls of folks in our friend’s living rooms. We enjoyed sweet fellowship, catching up, and even did some sight seeing!

Tennessee Oct. 11- 15 - Thomson's Station > Nashville > Pikeville, TN

Sweet Reunion with YWAM friends, Buddy & Eileen Zegel
Reunion with YWAM friend, Carol Thomas  --  Precious time with Jonathan & Monique Einwechter & family


Virginia Oct. 15 - 17 - Charlottesville, VA
                                    
                                    
A lovely visit with the Dumaresq's who treated us to a visit to Monticello!!

Pennsylvania Oct. 17 - 18 - Ephrata > Lehighton, PA > HOME!!

 Met the whole Einwechter clan & Jackie Siegal Moeller (YWAM) stopped in & a lovely overnite with the Charters 
10/18 Groceries purchased and we're set for HOME!
WE TRAVELED OVER 5400 MILES!!

As we look back on this trip, we are so thankful for the grace of God poured out to make this month, long trip not only possible, but a joy!  There was so much that was not set in stone or planned out ahead, but, whenever we had a need, He provided at the perfect time. Daily we could see His hand guiding, providing, orchestrating, and knitting our hearts with others.  It’s what He does in our midst that is profoundly needed, felt and lasting.  So we praise Him & are overwhelmed by what we can see and thank Him for all that we cannot see!

  We look forward to reconnect with those that we met when we do another future trip & 
we want to continue to share in New England 
among friends and churches here. 

We will come to your living room.
 Just invite a few friends & we'll enjoy sweet fellowship! 
Have a homeschool co-op or know of a christian school that would want to see Jon's pictures & hear about God's work in South Sudan? Let us know!

Jon is available for the next month or so, 
before he returns to South Sudan in Dec. for about 6 months. Fortunately, we have memorized his presentation, so we can come anytime thru May to share in your home or church.

PRAISE GOD
~ for the generosity of God's people who gave toward the medical clinic, Jon's travel expenses, our needs on the trip, and beyond!!!
~ that having left home with only enough funds to get us to MN, God saw us home!
~ for the $500 collected for the medical clinic 
~ for unexpected speaking engagements, last minute housing & new friends!.
~ for rekindling of old relationships & the making of new ones!
~ for gifts toward Jon's travel expenses 
~ that we have $450 monthly support & how He has creatively provided & cared for us! We cannot begin to tell all He has done… ask and we'll recall with thanks!!

PRAY... 
~ for the $4500 more needed for the medical clinic to be reopened 
~ for arrangements for the upcoming trip and all that has to be done on the ground to be ready for their arrival.
~ for God's just-in-time provision of supplies & additional airfare needed for Jon's trip
~ for the means to get thru cheaply all the material donations to the people of S. Sudan.
~ for peace in S. Sudan b/c the Prince of Peace has come to reign in people's hearts!!

Thank you for your precious time and for your prayers for all!!
~ Jon
