Home from the Hills

We made it home from our border run. It was a good trip and we learned many things. The young couple who are doing recon for us are doing a really good job of fact and people finding. Two of our co-workers went with us on this trip, one of them for the first time.

Now we are busy getting ready for our missions conference back in the USA. Our part of the job is to write articles and take the news of what is going on here back to the home front. Sometimes, that can be difficult because many, if not most of the time we are "flying under the radar." Our work takes us to places where neither we, nor our work, is appreciated by the various governments. Totalitarian regimes always think that we are spies working for the CIA or something really spectacular. Boy, if they only understood what nothings we are, they would stop worrying and laugh. However, they don't understand and they never laugh. We always have to be careful and that is something most Americans can't grasp, because they have never been there, done that, and they definitely do not have the T-shirt to prove it. So, our writings are sometimes difficult to decipher to those who don't know us and for those who do not know where we live and work. We are in a place that missionologists call the 10/40 window. Look it up. I don't have time to elaborate here. Those who care can find out and those who don't care can read somebody else's blog. Anyway, I have to get back to work. Just wanted to let you know that we survived another "border run."
