Hey Folks,

 

Jenn and I just wanted to send a quick note to let everyone know we arrived safely in Denver, CO this evening after 2.5 full days of driving.  It sure makes for a different trip when you are driving a 26 ft. Penske, pulling a car and can only go 55 mph. 

 We are exhausted and getting settled in to our hotel room.  We plan to start moving into your house tomorrow, hopefully after a good nights sleep and rest.

 I will not have Internet access for a bit and will probably be off line until Monday.

 Thanks again for your prayers as we make this transition to Colorado with DELTA Ministries.  We will write soon. 

 In Christ,

 Chris McDaniel

An excerpt from Krohn's latest newsletter.

PLANS:

This fall, Lord willing, we will be heading to Trinity Evangelical Divinity School for a one-year ThM degree (a pre-doctoral, advanced Masters degree). It was a disappointment, at first, not to be accepted into any PhD program. However, upon further reflection, it is a huge blessing in disguise, as it gets us back to the mission field much sooner. WE WILL BE HEADING BACK TO PERU in July of 2011 (SIM Peru even has an apartment reserved for us). Depending on how the ThM goes, there is a chance for doctoral studies from Peru in a distance-education format. Thankfully, I received a couple scholarships from Trinity that will help with tuition. SIM has given us their blessing to pursue further studies, and we are allowed to stay on support during these coming months of study. The summer months will be spent visiting more supporters, as well as some serious study in preparation for the ThM. I (Jeff) aim to study the biblical languages 30+ hours/week. A ThM degree in Biblical Studies with a focus in New Testament will enable me to dig deeper into the Word, and help me to serve more effectively in Peru.  

NEEDS:

Because our support has fallen, we would not be able to go back to Peru right now. Speaking bluntly, we are in need of monthly support (about $1,500 more a month), as well as special gifts, (somewhere in the neighborhood of $15,000) as we think of returning in a year. These special gifts will be used for set-up costs as we will be moving to a new location, Lima, the capital of Peru. Also, though we have some savings, we are in need of some more help for tuition and rent for the coming school year. Gifts specifically designated to our Ministry Account can be used to help pay for tuition. We also are in need of a mini-van, as we will be turning in our currently leased mini-van in mid-August. We are shopping around and looking for deals! We also might be in need of a smaller vehicle for commuting, if we are not able to live on campus at TEDS. Finding a place to live in the Chicago area is also a need. Giving to our ministry is possible at www.sim.org/giveusa

A Note from Jack Foster

Dear Prayer Warriors,

Thank you so much for your prayers. I'm slowly settling in. The hardest adjustment has been to the heat and the humidity. The temperature has been in the mid 80's and I'm sure that the humidity level is at 110%, at least that's how it feels! It has rained almost every day since I arrived. Last night we had an electrical storm with lightning and thunder popping all over the place. I unplugged everything, as the electricity flow is all over the map and you can get your appliances fried in these storms. 

 

 

I have to sleep with a mosquito net now, so as to lower the chances of getting bit by malaria and dengue carrying mosquitoes. I was so focused on getting the picture that I didn't see Happy in it till I downloaded it. She really is a little shadow, trying to accompany me everywhere I go. "Where is Molly?" you ask. She spends a lot of her time just trying to escape the heat.

Many of my Indian friends have come to visit me, and are anxious to start having formal language classes with me. When we're visiting they keep saying to each other, "He just isn't hearing very well" as there is so much they say that I don't understand. Please pray that I'll make rapid progress with the language! They are so anxious to be able to talk to me. Thank God for that!

Again, I'm so grateful for your prayers. More news and pictures later.

In Christ, Jack
