POP Update from Texas

It has been a while since I last updated you my readers.  I am currently living and working in Texas while my family is still at home.  The first weekend I was here, I found a wonderful, missions minded church called "Northwood."  Several people have reached out to me during this difficult time of being separated from my loved ones, my home, my church, my horse, etc.  Northwood has a heart for Asia as I do (Nepal) as well as Mexico and in the local community.  They even use the word "Glocal" to describe their outreach to the world for Christ.  Same as my home church at LSCC.  Today, I visited a newly renovated baseball field in an old, poor neighborhood.  The dedication of this "new" facility is next Saturday, May 11th which happens to be my birthday.  I plan to be there since I have nothing else to do.
My desire is to return to Nepal with the Team this October and continue our work at HOPE Home.  Your support and prayers are very important to me, especially now.  Please share this blog with others who will join in our efforts to bring "the gift of play" to the world and much more.  Thanks,
Mark.
