A few weeks ago, while visiting a church in North Carolina we had the privilege of visiting Kitty Hawk, the site where Orville and Wilbur Wright first experience flight. Many of you are probably familiar with the Wright brothers and their historic plane. As we walked through the museum at Kitty Hawk, I soon realized there was so much more to the Wright story. The Wright brothers were dedicated to there goal. They lived on site at the airfield for months. They built models and gliders and had numerous test flights. They failed and tried again, and had teams of people to help with their tests. And finally, they had success.The past week and a half our family has been residing at the headquarters of OMS as we participate in CROSS Training (OMS's preparation for cross cultural ministry and living). We have learned alot about everyday life as a missionary, as well as various aspects of our ministry. What continues to amaze me is the incredible team that stands behind us here in the United States and supports our efforts to go! God has reminded us that He not only provides through finances and prayer, but also through the faithfulness and guidance of men and women in leadership and support at OMS. We could not be successful missionaries to Hungary without an incredible team! We are thankful and blessed to be part of such an organization.
While we were at Kitty Hawk, we enjoyed photographing Carter posing as an astronaut in the history of flight pavilion. It has been a long path from first flight to walking on the moon...and our journey in missions sometimes seems to reflect this idea. As ambassadors of Christ we strive "to boldly go..."
