off to Paraguay!

New year, new adventures for our family. Our daughter Katie heads back to her campus in Indiana, Taylor University today, but only for one day before she boards a flight - several flights - for Paraguay! She's part of a Lighthouse team through Taylor, who will spend their January term on international mission trips. Two of Katie's brothers also went on Lighthouse trips: to Thailand and Poland.

Katie's super-excited about this experience, where she will serve the Ache people, who until 40 years ago were a primitive jungle people. You can read updates on the team and their mission, as well as the other Lighthouse teams here.

Thanks to those of you who have donated funds and supplies to Katie's mission. Most of all, we pray for the team's safety, provision, and effective ministry. We're proud of you, Katie. Have a wonderful three weeks!
