...ends of the earth

... and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.    - Acts 1:8b   The below picture was a map we had placed up on the wall during our Shackelford family reunion marking all the places my parents, their children and their grandchildren have lived. (not visited, lived! )

 

Shackelford Invasion

We have arrived!  After 20 plus years of praying for this place we are now here with our family of six.  [Mother Teresa Airport in Tirana, Albania]

Well Sent

We were very blessed Sunday and Monday by our church, who prayed over us, and by all of our friends who came to the GO Center Monday evening for a prayer and worship send-off.  Below are some pictures of that very send-off and a video of Jillian singing "Amazing Grace".  We also had most of our prayer team committed for One.One.12.  We are needing people to commit to praying on the 20th of each month - also the 21st, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th.  If you would like to commit to praying for us for one our one day each month you can sign up by clicking here.  

Buddies

One last hot and humid camping trip before heading out for Albania. Big thanks to Clay Bell for taking Robbie and a few of his cell group buddies out for some camping fun.
