Thank you!

Dave and I would like to sincerely thank you all for your prayers and support over the past several months and especially this past week.

We were up at 3:45 to head to the Cali airport at 4:30. 13 hours later, we touched down at DFW International Airport and met our wives and my children at the baggage claim.

Our bodies are tired, but the stories and excitement for our new brothers and sisters is still very exciting and energizing. We talked about our experiences on the way home, reliving the amazing things that God did this past week in a city that was once the capital of cocaine distribution from Colombia.

We read the comments and emails we received from home this week, using those words of encouragement to keep us going and remind us that while we are on the front lines of the battle, there were many "planners" working for us at home and across the nation.

Dave and I would like to ask you to do one more thing for us and for the entire Cali mission team. Please continue praying for the churches we worked with, the nationals who are now charged with continuing our work and for the new believers. We especially request prayers for the police officers who turned their life over to Christ this week. They have been given the unique opportunity to continue growing their numbers as another "church" of their own. If they can continue the momentum in the coming days, Cali can and will become a different city. The song "God of This City" by Chris Tomlin comes to mind. These young men and women have an incredible opportunity for revival from the inside out. Pray that they will be bold in demonstrating their faith to each other and within the communities they patrol.

Again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting us and allowing us to play a small part in being the hands and feet of the church this week.

We love you all.

Dave & Matt
