Pack, travel, unpack, pack, travel, unpack, pack, travel,… and it isn’t over yet. Yep we are in the midst of making our way out to Oregon to begin the weekend trips to churches to share with folks what God has been doing in our lives during the past three years.
On the 11th August we departed South Africa, spent two hot but wonderful days visiting with friends in the beautiful city of Dakar, Senegal before heading on to Cary, North Carolina. We met up with Dad & Mom Carter in the airport in Atlanta as they were headed to Cary the same day we arrived, so they could keep an eye on our kids while we attended meetings at Trans World Radio.
Thankfully our meetings went well and we are now in New Port Richey with the grandparents enjoying the warm Florida sun. It has been pretty amazing to arrive at the beginning of hurricane season and see Gustav head past and have Hanna and Ike on the way. Oh well, wind and rain isn’t so bad as long as we don’t have to experience the direct effects like those in Louisiana and Mississippi have had to go through. Praise the Lord there wasn’t more damage from Gustav.
Well, the whole point of this particular blog entry was to post our speaking schedule for the next three months, so that if you happen to be reading this, you can pray for us from time to time.

Hello John and Carol,
I just found your Blog and am so happy to know you will be back in our neck of the woods. We live in Vancouver, WA and would love to meet you and hear you speak at the Gresham church, Nov. 30th or Hillsboro church, Dec. 7th. I recently tried sending an email to you, but it was delayed and I'm not sure if you will get it. If you have not received an email from me, please let me know and I will try sending it again. Thank you for posting your speaking schedule, my family and I are looking forward to meeting you.
Warmly,
Dana Dirksen
