Greetings

When did you start traveling?

About a week ago.

How long did it take you to plan for it?

Oh, not very long!

(laughing) Two weeks before that!

Dan did most of the work on the travel plans. We gave him no notice.

(laughing) They gave me about a month.

So you just called each other up and talk to each other?

Well, there are hundreds of Believers involved. We just ended up being the ones that came.

There are many people back home participating with us by loving and caring.

And there were people in many, many countries that asked us to come visit, so when they asked enough we finally said, “Ok, we should go.” But we only picked the ones that we could actually do. So we started in a maximum security prison. I think you heard us say that last night. We were visiting some true Believers that are in prison in a penitentiary—some serious Disciples of Jesus inside a penitentiary that we visit with every few months. Then we went to Australia and now we’re here. Then we’ll go to a couple places in Africa, and then on to Europe…

So then after Europe?

After Europe we go back home and sleep for three weeks. : )

So, you are just using vacation time?

We took time off from our jobs.

So you just took time off…

So you are spending your holidays in some other countries?

Yes. But even better put, since we are seeking first the Kingdom, our lives are about seeing you, and in some respects our jobs are our “holiday,” as well as a way to make money to come see you. : )

How long will you be here?

About four days. And then we are going to South Africa—and then elsewhere in Africa.

(more people enter room)

Hello! Hi! Nice to meet you!

(background conversation)

Lunch! (laughing)
