21 Park people. two continents, one day,

maggie, dave and donna have been on two continents on the same day for more than seven days in a row, but on Saturday, both teams of workers got to got to say they've been on two continents in the same day.

While some of swam in the Bosphorus, the second team was traveling to Istanbul and learning a lot about patience.Their flights were delayed, baggage was lost and connections were missed, but when they arrived at 2:30 a.m. (Istanbul time...28 hours of travel!) they looked great! Tired, yes. But still in amazing spirits. We thank our Father for what he did through that time spent in lines and getting meal vouchers and sitting on runways - and we are confident there is something big in store as they begin work on Monday. As Donna explained, the waiting that we did (especially her) put us in a position that we should all hope to be - totally dependent on Him...when everything else is beyond your control and you are just not sufficient without Him.

There was a lot of pacing and running up the stairs until they arrived safely at our hotel. Once they did though, I witnessed Donna dash out our hotel door like a lightning bolt - almost as fast as Co Joe is when he is walking to a restaurant. We are all so excited for you and what our Father is going to do through you this next week and more!

This may be team 1 signing off for now, as we head to the European side this morning. Thanks for all of your thoughts to the Father!
