Good morning dear church family,

The sunrise is even beautiful in the city!

Our men are en route to the airport in Kathmandu...

It's about 6:30 pm Nepal time as this posts and they will fly out at 9:00 pm (roughly 10:15 am here at home) on a 3 1/2 hour flight to Abu Dhabi. In Abu Dhabi they will go through US Customs and board the long flight to New York. That flight will depart at 3:35 a.m. Abu Dhabi time (6:35 pm our time) and fly for nearly 15 hours and land in New York at 9:25 am tomorrow morning. Then after a long layover they board their final flight at 3:35 pm and arrive in Pittsburgh at 5:30.

Before the big trip home, our guys were able to take a short sight seeing jaunt into the heart of the city. Eric captured some great photos for us...

How about the front page news in Nepal? 

As our men head home please pray:

• For their health...two of our three who were feeling badly yesterday are feeling much better. One is not. Please pray as they all endure the long flights.
• For smooth travels home. Easy connections, flights taking off as scheduled. No customs or luggage issues.
• Endurance and as much comfort as possible as they fly home.
• For safety all the way.

Thank you for your prayerful attention! It means the world to us.

"Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord, a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones and awesome above all who are around him?"

~Psalm 89:5-7
