As you read this on Tuesday, I will be in the air on the way home from Central Asia. It is now just about 4 a.m. We catch the plane at 7 a.m. It will be a long day and I ask you to pray for comfort and safety during our travel time.
 
The days in this region have been very fruitful. Our job was to encourage the saints that are preaching Jesus, making disciples and planting new churches. I heard so many stories of God’s power in the lives of many believers. I have been the encouraged rather than the encourager. During our final fellowship and meal last night, there were tears and laughter all around. These people that love Jesus live in a region that is less than 1% Christian. They face many struggles but they are seeing victories on many occasions. They have joy in the journey. I will have many stories to share with you in weeks to come.
 
Last night I taped two 20-minute segments of teaching from 2 Peter for the churches to use in their small groups. I taught on the Eight Callings of God. They have asked us for more of these. They will voice-over the language and send these all over this region. They had a makeshift recording studio in one of the churches. It is not Olive but it works! I was reminded once again of how blessed we are to have all the resources we have. Your dedicated giving makes that possible. This is one more way we will touch the world from the corner of Olive and Davis. God is good! 
 
Dennis and I will be home on Tuesday evening. I should be at church on Wednesday night. I will have jet lag hanging on me but the joy of Jesus will be in me. Thank you for allowing your pastor to travel from time to time and to be the recipient of  blessings around the world.
 
Pastor Ted Traylor
