From the Field

Scott Moreau sent in this report regarding the start of this summer's SMI (Summer Medical Institute):

Our first wave of leaders made it down to Harlingen with no events yesterday - smooth flights and connections and even some good Texas BBQ in the Houston airport. In fact, we made it from Philly to Harlingen more quickly than my family made it from Philly to Richmond by car!We spent the first afternoon unpacking supplies from the storage closet here and settling in a bit and then today the leaders are taking some time to prepare themselves spiritually and logistically with some time alone with God, unpacking and getting familiar with our theme "Let's Dance." We will be studying Galatians this summer, and today will be looking at a classic article by Rev. Tim Keller called "The Centrality of the Gospel?" and discussing it some tonight when we go to the home of our Project Director, Heath (and Jenn) Hale for dessert. Thanks for your prayers and for standing with us in ministry as we seek to be God's ambassadors here in the Rio Grande Valley.
