NW Guyana Team 2008

Good news, Bad news…(posted by Kent)

Good news…we have arrived safely at our hotel in Georgetown, Guyana.  The Grand Coastal is a wonderful site for travel weary eyes.  You can see if from home at www.grandcoastal.com.  We got to the hotel 24 hours and 12 minutes after meeting at IHOP in Oklahoma City.

Bad news…Satan isn’t very creative in his attempts to thwart (that’s right, I used the word “thwart” in a missions blog) our work here in Guyana.  He has onced again used an airline to lose our luggage.  All 15 members of our team arrived with no checked luggage.  Our best guess is that its still at JFK. 

Good news…Jax Beach got here with all of the medical supplies, eye glasses, and other things that we need to start a medical clinic tomorrow and share the Gospel with people. 

Bad news…our luggage isn’t here.  If you want to help, please pray that it arrives quickly.  If you want to chip in and help with “Operation Squeeky Wheel” you can make complaints online at www.delta.com.  (I am not sure if I am kidding or not, so I guess its up to you.)

Good news…Joel is preaching right now at the Ann’s Grove Church of Christ and getting them pumped about everything God is going to do there this week.  The rest of our team is sleeping for the next several hours.

Good news sidenote…I got to sit next to Larry Jones, the founder of Feed the Children, on our first flight yesterday.  We got to talk quite a bit and it was a pretty cool experience.  I think he and I are going to do lunch sometime.

Good news for me…I am going to sleep now.  Keep us in your prayers…they have got us here safely so far and we are definitely thankful for that.

Final Score:  Good news: 5, Bad news: maybe 1.  Looks like the Good news is winning.

    Kent,
    The airlines will not give me any information on this end. It has to come from the person who lost the luggage. Hope you are making progress on your end. We are enjoying the updates and are keeping all of you in our prayers.
    Gayle
